Bible Question:
why did GOD allow Jephthah killed his daughter as burnt offering...is that God prohibit... i am so confused. i know God is love...but it's muder..so could you explain..why God allowed it. |
Bible Answer: It is important to read the whole passage from v 29 to v 40, in order to see the typology of this incident. Jephthah's daughter was his only child, and was therefore his "firstborn", she was also a virgin, typical of purity. The expression "two months" is mentioned three times, (in verses 37, 38, and 39). Three draws our attention to the Trinity, and two to the second person of the Trinity, ie, Jesus of whom this girl is a type, as she was prepared to lay down her life to save her father from breaking his vow to the LORD, and the consequences of disobedience. |
