Judges 11:37
Douay-Rheims
And she said to her father: Grant me only this which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions.
Rashi
To grieve on the hills. This word refers to bewailing. Similarly, "On its roofs and thoroughfares, total wailing, weeping grief." Weeping so intense that it causes a physical breakdown. Midrash Agada: R' Tanchuma expounded, On the hills; before the Sanhedrin—perhaps they may find a loophole in your vow.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
