1 | why mourn his daughter 4 days a year? | Judg 11:31 | mark d seyler | 136893 | ||
Lev 27:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the LORD. Lev 27:4 'Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. Lev 27:5 'If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels. Could it be that after Jephthah's daughter returned from the mountains, and they went to the priests to fulfill this vow, that they had the the best suprise ever, finding out that she could be redeemed? Just a thought. . . Love in Christ, Mark |

Hello Mark, You are correct in mentioning this. My take on the situation was that Jephthah sacrificed his duaghter without the priest present. I say this for a two reasons. First, Jephthah was made an outcast because of his parentage and would not have known all the parts of the law. Basically, he was a scoundrel all his days. Second, verses 39-40 says that he did what he intended, and there were mourners ever since. Steve |
