His vow is to sacrifice 'whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites' as a burnt offering.
Minimalist Wrote:When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the Lord that I cannot break.”(bolding mine)
He sees his daughter and is devestated that he must kill her.

This is just short of explicitly saying "he burned he alive as a sacrifice". It can't be much more obvious.
