Good Morning, Nolan! Judges 11:30 "*made a vow.* A common practice among the Israelites. The precise nature of this vow has been the subject of wide speculation, but v. 31 indicates the promise of a burnt offering and leads to the conclusion that Jephthah probably offered his daughter as a human sacrifice (v. 39)" (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999).

Good morning, JVH! Maybe we will both be studying soon out of the ASV.. :) Yes, I had the same impression from Judg. 11:30 even though Jephthah was not under orders from God to do this since God had forbidden human sacrifice. (Lev. 18:21; 20:2-5 and Deut. 12:31; 18:10) Of course, in the Book of Judges 'everyone did what was right in his own eyes' (Judg. 21:25). But another way of looking at this is that Jephthah just simply 'kept her a virgin'... I know that this sounds 'least harsh' in light of his vow in v. 30, but his daughter makes no mention of sacrifice in v. 37, she just refers to the fact that she will never marry (which I find interesting if she was being sacrificed!).. Anyways, that is interesting and I appreciate your input! Your brother in the Lord, Nolan! |
