When he saw her, he ripped his clothes and said,“Oh no! My daughter! You have completely ruined me! You have brought me disaster! I made an oath to the LORD, and I cannot break it.”

She then said to her father,“Please grant me this one wish. For two months allow me to walk through the hills with my friends and mourn my virginity.”
