Why do you come to me now, when you're in trouble?" 8 The elders of Gilead said to him, "Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be our head over all who live in Gilead." 9 Jephthah answered, "Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me — will I really be your head?" 10 The elders of Gilead replied, "The Lord is our witness; we will certainly do as you say."

She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, "Oh! My daughter! You have made me miserable and wretched, because I have made a vow to the Lord that I cannot break."

  22. Why this wasn’t a human sacrifice • More than one expositor has pointed out that the little word "and?' in the phrase "and I will offer it up" (11:31) can be translated "or.” • Judges 11:30-31 – "If you give the Ammonites into my hands, 31 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, OR I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.“ • Since he was met by his daughter, Jephthah gave her to the Lord to serve Him at the tabernacle (Ex 38:8; 1 Sam 2:22) • Judges 11:37-40 There is Emphasizes on the fact that she remained a virgin. This also became a custom for all daughters of Israel to remain a virgin for 2 months. Why make a vow of purity over a human sacrifice • Human Sacrifices wasn’t acceptable in God’s eyes (Genesis 22; Lev. 18:21)
