The vow of Jephthah

December 12, 2009

Many argue that the vow of Jephthah was accepted or not, this article will try to clear this doubt.

He made a solemn vow ( Judges 11.30a )
First part of the voting:
If a deliver Ammon into my hands.
2 So I offer up what they first come out of my house to meet me when I returned from the war
Second part of the vote: ( Judges 11.31a )
A dedicate it to Jehovah, according to Leviticus 27 .
2 If appropriate, offer it as a burnt offering to Jehovah. , o que quer dizer que qualquer coisa adequada para um holocausto deveria ser tornar um, e qualquer coisa adequada para o serviço de Deus deveria ser consagrada a Ele. Mesmo que essatradução não seja correta, devemos entender que tal idéia está implícita no voto, pois Deus não aceitaria um sacrifício humano ( Lv 18.21 ; 20.2-5 ). According to the most accurate Hebrew scholars, should read this second vote as well: I will offer to the Lord, or I will offer a burnt offering, which means that anything suitable for a holocaust should be to make one, and anything suitable for the service of God should be consecrated to Him Even essatradução is not correct, we must understand that this idea is implicit in the vote, because God would not accept a human sacrifice ( Lev. 18:21 ; 20.2-5 ). As he left his house (his daughter) was not suitable for a holocaust would not have been acceptable to God, and would have brought down the death sentence upon Jephthah, the only thing he could do was offer her virginity to the Lord perpetual ( vv. 36-40 )
Judges 11.32a The Lord gave them. Without him, Jephthah would not have succeeded. He smote the Ammonites from Aroer, a river on the northern side of Ammon. Minnith up, a town 6 km from Heshbon - a distance of 48-64 km - and took 20 city ( vv 32.33 ).
Judges 11.34a was the first person who left his home and was linked with their vote of v.31 .
Judges 11.34b was customary for women to go out with a victorious army aufes and dances to find the heroes victorious ( v. 34. ; 1 Sam 06.18 ).
11.35a Judges Jephthah was not only upset because her daughter was to be delivered to the Lord's perpetual virginity, but also because it meant that his family did not remain in Israel because she was his only descendant and therefore the only one who could keep the existence of his family ( vv. 34.35 )
11.35b Judges Jephthah spoke to her daughter about the vote that he had made concerning it, which could not fail to fulfill ( v. 35 ). The law would not allow him to sacrifice a burnt offering. Not only was forbidden to sacrifice human beings in this way, but any animal, except the bull, the bull, the goat, the goat, the calf and the pigeon. Only these were acceptable to God.
The law of vows ( Leviticus 27 ) says that people, animals and other things could be offered to God for holy purposes, although they could not be used in burnt offerings. Moreover, these could be redeemed with money if the vote was simple and the amount should be given to the priests and Levites ( Lev. 27.1-25 ). Other things (such as the firstborn of clean animals, all tithes and anything dedicated to the Lord as consecrated could not be redeemed. Things should remain enshrined in the service of God ( Leviticus 27.26-29 ). was this kind of vow that Jephthah made for him, so he devoted his daughter to perpetual virginity to God - That he was obliged to do ( v. 35 ).
11.36b Judges Jephthah's daughter was willing to fulfill his part in the vote because Jehovah had given Israel the victory over the Ammonites ( v.. 36th ). She even drew up some terms that were accepted by his father ( v.. 37th ).
Judges 11.37a The request was for it to be given two months in order that she might weep her virginity with other daughters of Israel. This fact alone proves that the problem was not that he was illegally offered as a sacrifice to Jehovah. She should just stay a virgin for all day ses, which in itself was a great sacrifice and a calamity in Israel. That meant she could not fulfill his part in the life of Israel, keep your family alive among the people. So Jephthah's family was extinguished just because he had no other sons to carry on his name ( v. 34. ). She should be offered to the service of the tabernacle as a servant for life. Clearly there were several servants teh consecrated thus, from the fact that after the war against the Midianites, some were virgins consecrated to God as the Lord the vote ( Num 31.15-40 ).
Judges 11.39a This alone sets the question of what was the fulfillment of the vow. As there could be no sacrifice of human beings to Jehovah, the offering of Jephthah's daughter to perpetual virginity was the only way to fulfill the vow. Here calaramente tells how it was accomplished - she knew no man ( v. 39. ).
Judges 11.39b A new custom was established in Israel participating in this consecration of a daughter to perpetual virginity - the custom of the daughters of Israel lament the sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter, whose consecration was stopped her mother caught him in Israel and the possibility of have part in the future coming of Messiah to the world. Membership of that day, the daughters of Israel went to lament his sacrifice for 4 days in each year ( vv. 39.40 ). It is not known how long this practice was maintained, but at least he kept during the life of the daughter of Jephthah in Gilead and at least he was saved, if not in all Israel.
