Jephthah’s Vow: A Promise Made to the Lord
The words in our title today were spoken by Jephthah, a judge in Israel. This man made a foolish vow to the LORD, stating,
Jephthah’s Vow: A Promise Made to the LordIf You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands, then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s; and I will offer it up as a burnt offering. (Judges 11:30-31)
