Jephthah Just Keeps Getting Worse (Judges 11:29-12:7) - Faith and Other Oddities Episode 55

Last week, Jephthah killed his daughter in fulfillment of his vow. This week we discover the connections between this story and the stories of Isaac, Jairus’ daughter, and the Book of Enoch to reveal the Father’s heart towards his daughters. We also find connections with Gideon’s story, but with a twist. And Emily shares a rather disturbing rabbinic story about Jephthah’s death.
