Judges 11: 29-40 - The peoples choice - Judge Jephthah's vow - by Paul Woodley

Judges 11: 29-40. In this passage we come to the sorry conclusion of the story of judge Jephthah. Jephthah a mighty man of valour, filled with the Spirit of God, in a moment of weakness, makes a Canaanite style vow with God that ends in tragedy. Scholars argue if his daughter was sacrificed as a burned offering as the pagans did practice, or if she merely offered her life in service to God. The evidence from the pages of Scriptures strongly suggests the former, with the later interpretations merely to appease our modern day western sensibilities.
