As I clearly mentioned, what is YOUR evidence.
That was my evidence. I clearly explained what the passage by looking at the context and several other passages that state mosaic law.

Got any evidence?
The question minimalist asked was not about evidence, it was about the story.
No, the question was why didn't your fucking god kill Jeptha for frying his daughter which, and I really hate to break this to you, is what he did...if the story had happened at all, which it didn't, of course.
Again we see the apologetic mind which is capable of infinite self-delusion.
Jeptha vows to fry whatever comes out his door.
His daughter comes out the door.
He gives her two months to go run in the hills and then,
Quote:After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.There is no other "vow" in the story, son.
I really want to make this clear. Just because YOU make up some lame excuse for the plain language of your barbaric stories does not mean that normal people are going to be fooled by it. You are far too deeply invested in this holy horseshit. You need to get a life and find out why you are so fucking gullible.
Did you not read it? It may not be clear from your perspective, but you must put it into their perspective to understand it. Like I said, the vow was not about human sacrifice for several reasons that I listed. And let it be noted that at the end of the passage it said "and she knew no man." if she was sacrificed it would say "and she died" or close to it. Read my post and the link. You can't read this story piece by piece.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
