6. Now at the yom huledet celebration of Herod, it came about that the daughter of Herodias danced before them and Herod was pleased.
7. Herod, therefore, with a shevuah, promised to give to her whatever she might ask.
8. So she, prompted by her mother, said, Give to me here upon a serving tray the rosh (head) Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.
9. And, although grieving, the king commanded [it] to be given, on account of the shevuot (oaths) and the fellow muzmanim (guests)
10. And he sent and had Yochanan beheaded in the beit hasohar.
