"They answered him, “The Lord who hears these things is himself the Mediator and the Witness that we shall do what we have promised.” "
— Judges 11:10, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.”
“And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do. ”
“The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Yahweh shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so will we do."”
“The leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“The LORD will judge any grievance you have against us, if we do not do as you say.””
“They answered him: The Lord, who heareth these things, he himself is mediator and witness that we will do as we have promised.”
“And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.”
“And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.”
But he answered them: “Are you not the ones who hated me, and who cast me out of my father’s house? And yet now you come to me, compelled by necessity?”
And the leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “But it is due to this necessity that we have approached you now, so that you may set out with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be commander over all who live in Gilead.”
Jephthah also said to them: “If you have come to me so that I may fight for you against the sons of Ammon, and if the Lord will deliver them into my hands, will I truly be your leader?”
They answered him, “The Lord who hears these things is himself the Mediator and the Witness that we shall do what we have promised.”
And so Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead, and all the people made him their leader. And Jephthah spoke all his words, in the sight of the Lord, at Mizpah.
And he sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, who said on his behalf, “What is there between you and me, that you would approach against me, so that you might lay waste to my land?”
And he responded to them, “It is because Israel took my land, when he ascended from Egypt, from the parts of Arnon, as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan. Now therefore, restore these to me with peace.”
