JEPTHAH'S VOW

            We'll never know why he made it or in that impulsive moment what he thought would happen. We only know what tragic ends came of it. 

Prompted not by God nor duty, Jephthah, on the dawn of battle made a vow to sacrifice as a holocaust whatever came through his door if he returned victorious from battle. 

The battle was indeed victorious. He saved his people from 18 years of oppression and returned the hero. And who came to greet him was his only daughter. 

He held himself to his vow, let her grieve for two months...and then did as he promised...
