Then it shall be,¹ that whatsoever²°¹ cometh forthª° of the doorsª¹ of my houseª to meetª° me, when I returnª° in peaceª from the childrenª¹ of Ammon,ª shall surely be¹ the LORD'S,ª and I will offer it upª° for a burnt offering.ª" {Jdg 11:30-31} + "And it came to pass,¹ when he sawª° her, that he rentª°¹ his clothes,ª and said,ª° Alas,ª my daughter!ª thou hast brought²° me very²° low,ª° and thou¹ art¹ one of them that troubleª° me: for I¹ have openedª° my mouthª unto¹ the LORD,ª and I cannotª°¹ go back.ª°" {Jdg 11:35} + "And she vowedª° a vow,ª and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª if¹ thou wilt indeed²° lookª° on the afflictionª of thine handmaid,ª and rememberª° me, and not¹ forgetª°¹ thine handmaid,ª but wilt giveª° unto thine handmaidª a man²¹ child,ª then I will giveª° him unto the LORDª all¹ the daysª of his life,ª and there shall no¹ razorª comeª° upon¹ his head.ª" {1Sm 1:11} + "I will goª° into thy houseª with burnt offerings:ª I will payª° thee my vows,ª ...
