И пришел Иеффай к Мицпе в дом свой, и вот, дочь его пришла встретить его тембрами и танцами; и она была его единственным ребенком; кроме нее у него не было ни сына, ни дочери.

Who were these companions? They were merely two, and these were they: Rachel, who taught her to cry; and Miriam who taught her timbral and dances. "Rachel taught her to cry" as it is written "Rachel is weeping for her children...for they are gone." (Jeremiah 31:15) and about Bat Yiftach it is said "And weep for my virginity." "Miriam taught her timbral and dances" as it is written "and all the women went out after her in dance with hand-drums" (Exodus 15:20). "All the women" including those who were not in the same generation. And about Bat Yiftach it is said "there was his daughter coming out to meet him, with timbrel and dance!" (Judges 11:34)
