1 | why did GOD allow Jephthah killed | Judg 11:36 | mark d seyler | 179725 | ||
Hi Edwin, I only know what little this text tells us. It became an annual camp-out for the girls in Israel. It even seems that whatever happened was held in honor, but would the killing and sacrificing of one's daughter be held in honor? This is really all I've got on the topic, since we're not told much about this incident. Love in Christ, Mark |

2 | why did GOD allow Jephthah killed | Judg 11:36 | ebrain | 179743 | ||
Subject: Jephthat's daughter. Hi Mark. Verse 39, says "he carried out his vow", which I take to mean that he did what he promised God he would do, this to me at least is confirmed in the following verse where we find the word "lament" which means "a passionate expression of grief". Tell me why are the daughters of Israel lamenting, if there was a happy ending? You use the word honor, (which word we spell honour), and which indicates "to hold in high regard". The girls in Israel would not be using this word in respect of what Jephthat did, but what his daughter allowed to happen to her, this word also means "personal integrity, renown, reputation, sense of what is right". Why is it that only girls (v 40) that do this?,,,, because they are honouring one of their own sex. Verse 39, "She knew no man", this I understand does not refer to her virginity, but that she was cutting herself off from the prospect of marriage, and bearing children. Every blessing. Edwin. |
