Tell it to fucking "Jepthah." He doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.
Quote:It is clear from this particular passage that Jephthah intended to offer his daughter as a burnt offering
No, asshole. It is clear that he killed the bitch because of his vow to his fucking god.
Your reading comprehension is on the low side, huh?
What's clear is that you're the one with the paltry reading comprehension, and poor understanding of theology. Why do you think it says she went to the mountain for 2 months to mourn her virginity? Not her life, her virginity. Why do you think it states after he fulfilled his vow "And she had never been intimate with a man". Maybe because it was verifying her lifelong chastity? And do you honestly think women were going to be celebrating an outlaw human sacrifice for 4 days every year? That would be an awesome party, don't you think? Do you think they celebrated with a BBQ? There is no way this would have been acceptable..the guy would have been thrown out of the community or killed himself. Give it a rest.
