Judg.10.13

Judg.11.1

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

Judg.11.1

Jephthah the Gileadite was one tough warrior. He was the son of a whore, but Gilead was his father.

Judg.11.1

Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute.

Judg.11.1

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.

Judg.11.1

Now Jephthah of Gilead was a great warrior. He was the son of Gilead, but his mother was a prostitute.

Judg.11.2

And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

Judg.11.2

Meanwhile Gilead's legal wife had given him other sons, and when they grew up, his wife's sons threw Jephthah out. They told him: "You're not getting any of our family inheritance--you're the son of another woman."

Judg.11.2

Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. "You are not going to get any inheritance in our family," they said, "because you are the son of another woman."

Judg.11.2

Gilead's wife bore sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, "You shall have no inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

Judg.11.2

Gilead's wife also had several sons, and when these half brothers grew up, they chased Jephthah off the land. "You will not get any of our father's inheritance," they said, "for you are the son of a prostitute."

Judg.11.3

Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.

Judg.11.3

So Jephthah fled from his brothers and went to live in the land of Tob. Some riff-raff joined him and went around with him.

Judg.11.3

So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where a group of adventurers gathered around him and followed him.

Judg.11.3

Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him.

Judg.11.3

So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Soon he had a large band of rebels following him.

Judg.11.4

And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

Judg.11.4

Some time passed. And then the Ammonites started fighting Israel.

Judg.11.4

Some time later, when the Ammonites made war on Israel,

Judg.11.4

It came to pass after a time that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.

Judg.11.4

At about this time, the Ammonites began their war against Israel.

Judg.11.5

And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:

Judg.11.5

With the Ammonites at war with them, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

Judg.11.5

the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

Judg.11.5

And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

Judg.11.5

When the Ammonites attacked, the leaders of Gilead sent for Jephthah in the land of Tob. They said,

Judg.11.6

And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

Judg.11.6

They said to Jephthah: "Come. Be our general and we'll fight the Ammonites."

Judg.11.6

"Come," they said, "be our commander, so we can fight the Ammonites."

Judg.11.6

Then they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon."

Judg.11.6

"Come and be our commander! Help us fight the Ammonites!"

Judg.11.7

And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?

Judg.11.7

But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead: "But you hate me. You kicked me out of my family home. So why are you coming to me now? Because you are in trouble. Right?"

Judg.11.7

Jephthah said to them, "Didn't you hate me and drive me from my father's house? Why do you come to me now, when you're in trouble?"

Judg.11.7

So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and expel me from my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"

Judg.11.7

But Jephthah said to them, "Aren't you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you're in trouble?"

Judg.11.8

And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Judg.11.8

The elders of Gilead replied, "That's it exactly. We've come to you to get you to go with us and fight the Ammonites. You'll be the head of all of us, all the Gileadites."

Judg.11.8

The elders of Gilead said to him, "Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be our head over all who live in Gilead."

Judg.11.8

And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the people of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

Judg.11.8

"Because we need you," they replied. "If you will lead us in battle against the Ammonites, we will make you ruler over all the people of Gilead."

Judg.11.9

And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

Judg.11.9

Jephthah addressed the elders of Gilead, "So if you bring me back home to fight the Ammonites and GOD gives them to me, I'll be your head--is that right?"

Judg.11.9

Jephthah answered, "Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me-will I really be your head?"

Judg.11.9

So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back home to fight against the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them to me, shall I be your head?"

Judg.11.9

Jephthah said, "If I come with you and if the LORD gives me victory over the Ammonites, will you really make me ruler over all the people?"

Judg.11.10

And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

Judg.11.10

They said, "GOD is witness between us; whatever you say, we'll do."

Judg.11.10

The elders of Gilead replied, "The LORD is our witness; we will certainly do as you say."

Judg.11.10

And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD will be a witness between us, if we do not do according to your words."

Judg.11.10

"The LORD is our witness," the leaders replied. "We promise to do whatever you say."

Judg.11.11

Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

Judg.11.11

Jephthah went along with the elders of Gilead. The people made him their top man and general. And Jephthah repeated what he had said before GOD at Mizpah.

Judg.11.11

So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them. And he repeated all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.

Judg.11.11

Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.

Judg.11.11

So Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead, and he became their ruler and commander of the army. At Mizpah, in the presence of the LORD, Jephthah repeated what he had said to the leaders.

Judg.11.12

And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

Judg.11.12

Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites with a message: "What's going on here that you have come into my country picking a fight?"

Judg.11.12

Then Jephthah sent messengers to the Ammonite king with the question: "What do you have against us that you have attacked our country?"

Judg.11.12

Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, "What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?"

Judg.11.12

Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of Ammon, demanding to know why Israel was being attacked.

Judg.11.13

And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.

Judg.11.13

The king of the Ammonites told Jephthah's messengers: "Because Israel took my land when they came up out of Egypt--from the Arnon all the way to the Jabbok and to the Jordan. Give it back peaceably and I'll go."

Judg.11.13

The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah's messengers, "When Israel came up out of Egypt, they took away my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, all the way to the Jordan. Now give it back peaceably."

Judg.11.13

And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably."

Judg.11.13

The king of Ammon answered Jephthah's messengers, "When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they stole my land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River and all the way to the Jordan. Now then, give back the land peaceably."

Judg.11.14

And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:

Judg.11.14

Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites with the message:

Judg.11.14

Jephthah sent back messengers to the Ammonite king,

Judg.11.14

So Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon,

Judg.11.14

Jephthah sent this message back to the Ammonite king:

Judg.11.15

And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:

Judg.11.15

"Jephthah's word: Israel took no Moabite land and no Ammonite land.

Judg.11.15

saying: "This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites.

Judg.11.15

and said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: "Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people of Ammon;

Judg.11.15

"This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not steal any land from Moab or Ammon.

Judg.11.16

But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;

Judg.11.16

When they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the desert as far as the Red Sea, arriving at Kadesh.

Judg.11.16

But when they came up out of Egypt, Israel went through the desert to the Red Sea and on to Kadesh.

Judg.11.16

for when Israel came up from Egypt, they walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

Judg.11.16

When the people of Israel arrived at Kadesh on their journey from Egypt after crossing the Red Sea,

Judg.11.17

Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.

Judg.11.17

There Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom saying, "Let us pass through your land, please.' But the king of Edom wouldn't let them. Israel also requested permission from the king of Moab, but he wouldn't let them cross either. They were stopped in their tracks at Kadesh.

Judg.11.17

Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Give us permission to go through your country,' but the king of Edom would not listen. They sent also to the king of Moab, and he refused. So Israel stayed at Kadesh.

Judg.11.17

Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let me pass through your land." But the king of Edom would not heed. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained in Kadesh.

Judg.11.17

they sent messengers to the king of Edom asking for permission to pass through his land. But their request was denied. Then they asked the king of Moab for similar permission, but he wouldn't let them pass through either. So the people of Israel stayed in Kadesh.

Judg.11.18

Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.

Judg.11.18

So they traveled across the desert and circled around the lands of Edom and Moab. They came out east of the land of Moab and set camp on the other side of the Arnon--they didn't set foot in Moabite territory, for Arnon was the Moabite border.

Judg.11.18

"Next they traveled through the desert, skirted the lands of Edom and Moab, passed along the eastern side of the country of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon. They did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was its border.

Judg.11.18

And they went along through the wilderness and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab, came to the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

Judg.11.18

"Finally, they went around Edom and Moab through the wilderness. They traveled along Moab's eastern border and camped on the other side of the Arnon River. But they never once crossed the Arnon River into Moab.

Judg.11.19

And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.

Judg.11.19

Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites at Heshbon the capital. Israel asked, "Let us pass, please, through your land on the way to our country.'

Judg.11.19

"Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and said to him, 'Let us pass through your country to our own place.'

Judg.11.19

Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land into our place."

Judg.11.19

"Then Israel sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon, asking for permission to cross through his land to get to their destination.

Judg.11.20

But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

Judg.11.20

But Sihon didn't trust Israel to cut across his land; he got his entire army together, set up camp at Jahaz, and fought Israel.

Judg.11.20

Sihon, however, did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. He mustered all his men and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.

Judg.11.20

But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

Judg.11.20

But King Sihon didn't trust Israel to pass through his land. Instead, he mobilized his army at Jahaz and attacked them.

Judg.11.21

And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

Judg.11.21

But GOD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his troops to Israel. Israel defeated them. Israel took all the Amorite land,

Judg.11.21

"Then the LORD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his men into Israel's hands, and they defeated them. Israel took over all the land of the Amorites who lived in that country,

Judg.11.21

And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. Thus Israel gained possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country.

Judg.11.21

But the LORD, the God of Israel, gave his people victory over King Sihon. So Israel took control of all the land of the Amorites, who lived in that region,

Judg.11.22

And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.

Judg.11.22

all Amorite land from Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan.

Judg.11.22

capturing all of it from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan.

Judg.11.22

They took possession of all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.

Judg.11.22

from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River, and from the wilderness to the Jordan.

Judg.11.23

So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?

Judg.11.23

It was GOD, the God of Israel, who pushed out the Amorites in favor of Israel; so who do you think you are to try to take it over?

Judg.11.23

"Now since the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven the Amorites out before his people Israel, what right have you to take it over?

Judg.11.23

"And now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel; should you then possess it?

Judg.11.23

"So you see, it was the LORD, the God of Israel, who took away the land from the Amorites and gave it to Israel. Why, then, should we give it to you?

Judg.11.24

Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.

Judg.11.24

Why don't you just be satisfied with what your god Chemosh gives you and we'll settle for what GOD, our God, gives us?

Judg.11.24

Will you not take what your god Chemosh gives you? Likewise, whatever the LORD our God has given us, we will possess.

Judg.11.24

Will you not possess whatever Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God takes possession of before us, we will possess.

Judg.11.24

You keep whatever your god Chemosh gives you, and we will keep whatever the LORD our God gives us.

Judg.11.25

And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,

Judg.11.25

Do you think you're going to come off better than Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Did he get anywhere in opposing Israel? Did he risk war?

Judg.11.25

Are you better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel or fight with them?

Judg.11.25

And now, are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel? Did he ever fight against them?

Judg.11.25

Are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he try to make a case against Israel for disputed land? Did he go to war? No, of course not.

Judg.11.26

While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?

Judg.11.26

All this time--it's been three hundred years now!-that Israel has lived in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the towns along the Arnon, why didn't you try to snatch them away then?

Judg.11.26

For three hundred years Israel occupied Heshbon, Aroer, the surrounding settlements and all the towns along the Arnon. Why didn't you retake them during that time?

Judg.11.26

While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

Judg.11.26

But now after three hundred years you make an issue of this! Israel has been living here all this time, spread across the land from Heshbon to Aroer and in all the towns along the Arnon River. Why have you made no effort to recover it before now?

Judg.11.27

Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

Judg.11.27

No, I haven't wronged you. But this is an evil thing that you are doing to me by starting a fight. Today GOD the Judge will decide between the People of Israel and the people of Ammon."

Judg.11.27

I have not wronged you, but you are doing me wrong by waging war against me. Let the LORD, the Judge, decide the dispute this day between the Israelites and the Ammonites."

Judg.11.27

Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you wronged me by fighting against me. May the LORD, the Judge, render judgment this day between the children of Israel and the people of Ammon."'

Judg.11.27

I have not sinned against you. Rather, you have wronged me by attacking me. Let the LORD, who is judge, decide today which of us is right--Israel or Ammon."

Judg.11.28

Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.

Judg.11.28

But the king of the Ammonites refused to listen to a word that Jephthah had sent him.

Judg.11.28

The king of Ammon, however, paid no attention to the message Jephthah sent him.

Judg.11.28

However, the king of the people of Ammon did not heed the words which Jephthah sent him.

Judg.11.28

But the king of Ammon paid no attention to Jephthah's message.

Judg.11.29

Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

Judg.11.29

GOD's Spirit came upon Jephthah. He went across Gilead and Manasseh, went through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there approached the Ammonites.

Judg.11.29

Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites.

Judg.11.29

Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced toward the people of Ammon.

Judg.11.29

At that time the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he went throughout the land of Gilead and Manasseh, including Mizpah in Gilead, and led an army against the Ammonites.

Judg.11.30

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

Judg.11.30

Jephthah made a vow before GOD: "If you give me a clear victory over the Ammonites,

Judg.11.30

And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: "If you give the Ammonites into my hands,

Judg.11.30

And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands,

Judg.11.30

And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD. He said, "If you give me victory over the Ammonites,

Judg.11.31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

Judg.11.31

then I'll give to GOD whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in one piece from among the Ammonites--I'll offer it up in a sacrificial burnt offering."

Judg.11.31

whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD 's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."

Judg.11.31

then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

Judg.11.31

I will give to the LORD the first thing coming out of my house to greet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."

Judg.11.32

So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

Judg.11.32

Then Jephthah was off to fight the Ammonites. And GOD gave them to him.

Judg.11.32

Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands.

Judg.11.32

So Jephthah advanced toward the people of Ammon to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

Judg.11.32

So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave him victory.

Judg.11.33

And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

Judg.11.33

He beat them soundly, all the way from Aroer to the area around Minnith as far as Abel Keramim--twenty cities! A massacre! Ammonites brought to their knees by the People of Israel.

Judg.11.33

He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon.

Judg.11.33

And he defeated them from Aroer as far as Minnith--twenty cities--and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

Judg.11.33

He thoroughly defeated the Ammonites from Aroer to an area near Minnith--twenty towns--and as far away as Abel-keramim. Thus Israel subdued the Ammonites.

Judg.11.34

And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

Judg.11.34

Jephthah came home to Mizpah. His daughter ran from the house to welcome him home--dancing to tambourines! She was his only child. He had no son or daughter except her.

Judg.11.34

When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of tambourines! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter.

Judg.11.34

When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, there was his daughter, coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

Judg.11.34

When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter--his only child--ran out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy.

Judg.11.35

And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

Judg.11.35

When he realized who it was, he ripped his clothes, saying, "Ah, dearest daughter--I'm dirt. I'm despicable. My heart is torn to shreds. I made a vow to GOD and I can't take it back!"

Judg.11.35

When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, "Oh! My daughter! You have made me miserable and wretched, because I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break."

Judg.11.35

And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low! You are among those who trouble me! For I have given my word to the LORD, and I cannot go back on it."

Judg.11.35

When he saw her, he tore his clothes in anguish. "My daughter!" he cried out. "My heart is breaking! What a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have made a vow to the LORD and cannot take it back."

Judg.11.36

And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

Judg.11.36

She said, "Dear father, if you made a vow to GOD, do to me what you vowed; GOD did his part and saved you from your Ammonite enemies."

Judg.11.36

"My father," she replied, "you have given your word to the LORD. Do to me just as you promised, now that the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites.

Judg.11.36

So she said to him, "My father, if you have given your word to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, because the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the people of Ammon."

Judg.11.36

And she said, "Father, you have made a promise to the LORD. You must do to me what you have promised, for the LORD has given you a great victory over your enemies, the Ammonites.

Judg.11.37

And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

Judg.11.37

And then she said to her father, "But let this one thing be done for me. Give me two months to wander through the hills and lament my virginity since I will never marry, I and my dear friends."

Judg.11.37

But grant me this one request," she said. "Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends, because I will never marry."

Judg.11.37

Then she said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me: let me alone for two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains and bewail my virginity, my friends and I."

Judg.11.37

But first let me go up and roam in the hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a virgin."

Judg.11.38

And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

Judg.11.38

"Oh yes, go," he said. He sent her off for two months. She and her dear girlfriends went among the hills, lamenting that she would never marry.

Judg.11.38

"You may go," he said. And he let her go for two months. She and the girls went into the hills and wept because she would never marry.

Judg.11.38

So he said, "Go." And he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends, and bewailed her virginity on the mountains.

Judg.11.38

"You may go," Jephthah said. And he let her go away for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never have children.

Judg.11.39

And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,

Judg.11.39

At the end of the two months, she came back to her father. He fulfilled the vow with her that he had made. She had never slept with a man. It became a custom in Israel

Judg.11.39

After the two months, she returned to her father and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite custom

Judg.11.39

And it was so at the end of two months that she returned to her father, and he carried out his vow with her which he had vowed. She knew no man. And it became a custom in Israel

Judg.11.39

When she returned home, her father kept his vow, and she died a virgin. So it has become a custom in Israel

Judg.11.40

That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

Judg.11.40

that for four days every year the young women of Israel went out to mourn for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite. [JC]

Judg.11.40

that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

Judg.11.40

that the daughters of Israel went four days each year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

Judg.11.40

for young Israelite women to go away for four days each year to lament the fate of Jephthah's daughter.

John.6.25-John.6.59

John.6.25

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

John.6.25

When they found him back across the sea, they said, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

John.6.25

When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

John.6.25

And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"

John.6.25

When they arrived and found him, they asked, "Teacher, how did you get here?"

John.6.26

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

John.6.26

Jesus answered, "You've come looking for me not because you saw God in my actions but because I fed you, filled your stomachs--and for free.

John.6.26

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

John.6.26

Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

John.6.26

Jesus replied, "The truth is, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you saw the miraculous sign.

John.6.27

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

John.6.27

"Don't waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last."

John.6.27

Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."

John.6.27

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

John.6.27

But you shouldn't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Son of Man, can give you. For God the Father has sent me for that very purpose."

John.6.28

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John.6.28

To that they said, "Well, what do we do then to get in on God's works?"

John.6.28

Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"

John.6.28

Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"

John.6.28

They replied, "What does God want us to do?"

John.6.29

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

John.6.29

Jesus said, "Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God's works."

John.6.29

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

John.6.29

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

John.6.29

Jesus told them, "This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the one he has sent."

John.6.30

They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

John.6.30

They waffled: "Why don't you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what's going on? When we see what's up, we'll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do.

John.6.30

So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

John.6.30

Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

John.6.30

They replied, "You must show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What will you do for us?

John.6.31

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

John.6.31

Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: "He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

John.6.31

Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

John.6.31

Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'

John.6.31

After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! As the Scriptures say, 'Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

John.6.32

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

John.6.32

Jesus responded, "The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.

John.6.32

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

John.6.32

Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

John.6.32

Jesus said, "I assure you, Moses didn't give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.

John.6.33

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

John.6.33

The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world."

John.6.33

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

John.6.33

For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

John.6.33

The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

John.6.34

Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

John.6.34

They jumped at that: "Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"

John.6.34

"Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread."

John.6.34

Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

John.6.34

"Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day of our lives."

John.6.35

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John.6.35

Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.

John.6.35

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

John.6.35

And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

John.6.35

Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst.

John.6.36

But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

John.6.36

I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me.

John.6.36

But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.

John.6.36

But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

John.6.36

But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me.

John.6.37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John.6.37

Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go.

John.6.37

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

John.6.37

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

John.6.37

However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.

John.6.38

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John.6.38

I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.

John.6.38

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.

John.6.38

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

John.6.38

For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want.

John.6.39

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John.6.39

"This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed--not a single detail missed--and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.

John.6.39

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

John.6.39

This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

John.6.39

And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life at the last day.

John.6.40

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.40

This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time."

John.6.40

For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

John.6.40

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

John.6.40

For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life--that I should raise them at the last day."

John.6.41

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

John.6.41

At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him:

John.6.41

At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

John.6.41

The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

John.6.41

Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, "I am the bread from heaven."

John.6.42

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

John.6.42

"Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? How can he now say, "I came down out of heaven' and expect anyone to believe him?"

John.6.42

They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

John.6.42

And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, "I have come down from heaven'?"

John.6.42

They said, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

John.6.43

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

John.6.43

Jesus said, "Don't bicker among yourselves over me.

John.6.43

"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.

John.6.43

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

John.6.43

But Jesus replied, "Don't complain about what I said.

John.6.44

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.44

You're not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me--that's the only way you'll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.

John.6.44

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.44

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.44

For people can't come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them from the dead.

John.6.45

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

John.6.45

This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, "And then they will all be personally taught by God.' Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to me to be taught personally--to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from me, since I have it firsthand from the Father.

John.6.45

It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

John.6.45

It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

John.6.45

As it is written in the Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.

John.6.46

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

John.6.46

No one has seen the Father except the One who has his Being alongside the Father--and you can see me.

John.6.46

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

John.6.46

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

John.6.46

(Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)

John.6.47

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

John.6.47

"I'm telling you the most solemn and sober truth now: Whoever believes in me has real life, eternal life.

John.6.47

I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.

John.6.47

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

John.6.47

"I assure you, anyone who believes in me already has eternal life.

John.6.48

I am that bread of life.

John.6.48

I am the Bread of Life.

John.6.48

I am the bread of life.

John.6.48

I am the bread of life.

John.6.48

Yes, I am the bread of life!

John.6.49

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

John.6.49

Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died.

John.6.49

Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.

John.6.49

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

John.6.49

Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.

John.6.50

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

John.6.50

But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever.

John.6.50

But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.

John.6.50

This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

John.6.50

However, the bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it.

John.6.51

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John.6.51

I am the Bread--living Bread!-who came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this Bread will live--and forever! The Bread that I present to the world so that it can eat and live is myself, this flesh-and-blood self."

John.6.51

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

John.6.51

I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."

John.6.51

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; this bread is my flesh, offered so the world may live."

John.6.52

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

John.6.52

At this, the Jews started fighting among themselves: "How can this man serve up his flesh for a meal?"

John.6.52

Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

John.6.52

The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"

John.6.52

Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" they asked.

John.6.53

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

John.6.53

But Jesus didn't give an inch. "Only insofar as you eat and drink flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the Son of Man, do you have life within you.

John.6.53

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

John.6.53

Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

John.6.53

So Jesus said again, "I assure you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.

John.6.54

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.54

The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day.

John.6.54

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.54

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John.6.54

But those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them at the last day.

John.6.55

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

John.6.55

My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

John.6.55

For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

John.6.55

For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

John.6.55

For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.

John.6.56

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

John.6.56

By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you.

John.6.56

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

John.6.56

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

John.6.56

All who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I in them.

John.6.57

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

John.6.57

In the same way that the fully alive Father sent me here and I live because of him, so the one who makes a meal of me lives because of me.

John.6.57

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.

John.6.57

As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

John.6.57

I live by the power of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, those who partake of me will live because of me.

John.6.58

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

John.6.58

This is the Bread from heaven. Your ancestors ate bread and later died. Whoever eats this Bread will live always."

John.6.58

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."

John.6.58

This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

John.6.58

I am the true bread from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever and not die as your ancestors did, even though they ate the manna."

John.6.59

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

John.6.59

He said these things while teaching in the meeting place in Capernaum.

John.6.59

He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
