Judges 11
Jephthah sacrificed his only daughter to the Lord because he vowed to do so as she was the first to meet him as he returned from conquest.
" whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.” " such was Jephthah's vow.
1.Had you been Jephthah would you have proceeded with your vow to the Lord if your child's life and death was in the balance and in your hands?
2.Why could Jephthah make such a vow to begin with?
3.Is there an account yet in Christianity for Jephthah's sacrifice of his daughter as we give to the account of Abraham's sacrifice of his son? And if not, why not?
