(“Jephthah” (pronounced /ˈdʒɛfθə/; Hebrew: יפתח Yip̄tāḥ), appears in the ‘Book of Judges’ as a judge over ‘Israel’ for a period of 6 years (‘Judges 12:7’))
(according to ‘Judges’, he lived in ‘Gilead’)
(his father’s name is also given as ‘Gilead’ and, as his mother is described as a ‘prostitute’, this may mean that his father may have been any of the men of that area)
(‘Jephthah’ led the ‘Israelites’ in battle against ‘Ammon’ and, after defeating the ‘Ammonites’, made a rash vow to sacrifice whatever would come out of the door of his house first)
(as his daughter exited the house, he immediately regretted the vow, which would mean sacrificing his daughter to ‘God’)
(because of the ambiguity of the text, it is disputed whether or not this vow was carried out)
(traditionally, ‘Jephthah’ is listed among ‘major judges’ on the ground of the length of the biblical narrative referring to him, but his story also shares commonalities with the ‘minor judges’, for instance only 6 years duration of his office as judge)
