Judges 11:32
"then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”"
Key Reflection
This verse highlights Jephthah's commitment to the Lord; upon his victorious return from battle against the children of Ammon, whatever first greets him—likely a family member—would be dedicated to God as a burnt offering, symbolizing both his faith and the unexpected consequences such vows can entail.
