Every year ¹  Israelite women commemorate ²  the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite for four days. ³ 

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

that the daughters of Israel went yearly to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.

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

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

For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.

for four days every year the daughters of Israel would go out to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

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

Every year ¹  Israelite women commemorate ²  the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite for four days. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “From days to days,” a Hebrew idiom for “annually.”

² tn Heb “go to commemorate.” The rare Hebrew verb תָּנָה (tanah, “to tell; to repeat; to recount”) occurs only here and in 5:11.

³ tn The Hebrew text adds, “in the year.” This is redundant (note “every year” at the beginning of the verse) and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
