One can effectively camouflage their engagement in extensive wrongdoing by assuming an outward appearance of righteousness, coupled with an excessively critical and judgmental attitude towards others. Such a strategy allows them to blend seamlessly into society without arousing suspicion. Unfortunately, this pattern is often observed within the realms of mainstream religion and politics, resulting in the unintentional progression towards disastrous outcomes, despite their initial well-meaning intentions.

Judges 11:30-39 in the Bible describes the story of Jephthah, a judge of Israel. Here is the passage from the New International Version (NIV):
"And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: 'If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 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.'

Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord gave them into his hands. He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon.

When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her, he had neither son nor daughter. When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, 'Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the Lord that I cannot break.'

'My father,' she replied, 'you have given your word to the Lord. Do to me just as you promised, now that the Lord has avenged you of your enemies, the Ammonites. But grant me this one request,' she said. 'Give me two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends because I will never marry.'

'You may go,' he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.

From this comes the Israelite tradition that each year the young women of Israel go out for four days to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite."

This passage tells the story of Jephthah's vow to sacrifice whatever came out of his house to meet him if he was victorious in battle. Tragically, his daughter, his only child, was the first to greet him upon his return. Despite his distress, he felt bound by his vow to the Lord and ultimately carried out the sacrifice as he had promised. The passage also explains how this event led to an annual commemoration among the women of Israel.
