Judges 11:35

“whoever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice that person as a burnt offering.””

Provides context to Jephthah's vow, which leads to his daughter's fate.

“At the end of the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.”

Describes the fulfillment of Jephthah's vow.

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate persons to the Lord at an estimated value, set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel; for a female, set her value at thirty shekels.”

Concerns the valuation of persons dedicated to the Lord, raising questions about redemption of vows.

“Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.”

Relates to the principle of caution and reverence when making vows before God.

“When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.”

Concerns the keeping of vows made to the Lord.

“Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.”

An example of a rash vow that brought unintended consequences.
