Who was Jephthah and what was his vow? (Part 3)
And what was the vow of Jephthah?
• Jdg 11:30,31 (KJV) -> “And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”.
• Jdg 11:30,31 (Cepher) -> “And Yiphtach vowed a vow unto Yahuah, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever comes forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be Yahuah’s, and I will offer it up for an ascending smoke offering.”.
The burnt offering was an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD (Exodus 29:18,25,41; Lev 1:9,13,17), as it was the offer of Jesus Christ and the offer of Philippians to Paul:
• Eph 5:2 -> “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”.
• Php 4:18 -> “But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.”.
Jephthah went to offer someone of his servants unto the Creator as a burnt offering, that is to say, an offering of a sweet savor. For some reason he didn’t thought that who would come to meet him was his only daughter (Judge 11:34).
Why Jephthah rued to offer his daughter to the Creator? He could have other wives who could give him more children (at that time this was allowed). He wasn’t old because she went to a war. And now, after he gain this battle, he would become a famous and honored person.
Of course: Jephthah would like to conserve his daughter together with him and have grandchildren through her. However, at first, he could have children. Unless his wife had become sterile after give birth to his daughter and he didn’t desire to have another woman beyond her (perhaps he didn’t desire to make the same mistake as his father). He knew how hard is to be son out of marriage (after all, his step-brothers didn’t reject him because his mother was a whore, but because he was son of another woman).
And why did Jephthah’s daughter desired to regret his virginity (Jdg 11:36)?
