<p><span>-When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.</span><span>But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.</span></p>
<p><span>- When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.</span><span>Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.</span></p>

<p><span>You make a Vow unto G-D and it <span style="text-decoration: underline;">WILL</span> be paid! Thus Jephthah souldnt have cursed his daughter. Cant take the vow back. The only honest and true option you have is to keep the (reckless) vow. G-d is more than able to demand the price be paid and collect ANYWAY ("the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee") yet the vow includes the opportunity for Jephthah to keep it and carry it out. Which he did after acknowledging to ignore it would only make a Bad situation Worse. Some "higher critics" like to claim this story Somehow says G-d accepted child sacrifice.</span></p>
<p><span><span> </span><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody"><span>She was dead anyway (For it would be Required by G-D). So with reading comprehension one should look at the vow for the vow and the death for the death. (This would be one of those vows you should discern before making. The death of the kid (sacrifice, vow) was where he went wrong for his and the childs sake. The only right about the whole messed up situation he brought on himself and her is that he kept his vow. Two wrongs dont make a right! :D The only proper thing that did happen that Jephthah kept his vow nothing more nothing less. The death of the child could have been avoid by not making such a vow. WHo offers something up to G-D based on chance like this anyway? It could have been a clean or unclean thing that he would have to offer up to G-d as a sacrifice. Would have been more respectable to at least say whatever clean thing comes out from my home. Look at Able he brought the best of his as an offering unto G-d Cain just brought A offering from what he had Nothing speacial or heart flet about it so the vow was reckless. It would have been better to Thank G-d Praise him and then discern what sacrifice you will make with as much interest and consideration. He didnt do that. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody"><span><span> The truth of the Matter is Torah forbids human (child) sacrifice and this is a story about one man's walk. No one has the authority to make claims not in the text for G-D. The facts are The man vowed a vow which required he sacrifice his daughter, (G-d didnt do this and Never praised it rather Jephthah REGRETED IT) and would challenge anyone making the claim that G-d "accepted or showed favor" with the sacrifice to Document it! G-d knows the man kept the vow he vowed which would have been ""required" ANYWAY but it never says G-d "approved" of the sacrifice NOR is this a teaching to sacrifice ones kids just a heads up if you find anyone playing devils advocate </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> Esau (*Heb.12:17 /Gen.27:34)…tag:friendsnchrist.ning.com,2013-03-15:2993852:Comment:487732013-03-15T17:47:50.307ZWilliam H.https://friendsnchrist.ning.com/profile/Labrock
