Show us a reference of Hebrew girls taking a vow of virginity.

Assuming such happened is counter-intuitive. It defies human nature.

A vow of virginity was a pagan act of a woman bonding herself to an idol, and none of them ever remained virgin; they were temple prostitutes.

Numbers, chapter 30. It's not my problem if the words exceed the limits of YOPIOS.

Yes, I would agree that putting God before human nature is counter-intuitive, that's why the pledge is made to God so He can help.

Yes, and the pagans all had their virgin birth myths as well. That's how Christianity is different, with God ALL things are possible, HE is the difference.
