Why does Jephthah's daughter weep? Readers have creatively imagined
the causes of her tears as she weeps upon her betulim-usually
translated virginity or maidenhood. But her menstrual cycle's
relation to these terms is rarely mentioned. A child-oriented
theoretical and methodological foundation and research with
post-menarcheal girls provide new answers to oft-raised questions
about Bat-Yiphtach's weeping and her agency. Through an in-depth
philological review and a focus on the "excluded middle" of the
child-adult binary, this translation and interpretation of the
story contribute to the field of childhood studies and shows that
menarche and menstruation play a larger role in the narrative than
readers have realized.
