i have read somewhere that jephthah's daughter did not really go into temple service but was a victim of ritual sacrifice.

the bible says that after weeping over her virginity that the maidens would visit her annually.

how could they visit her if she was killed?.

Person
I agree with everything you stated. For some reason the account of Jephthah's daughter really throws people's cognitive dissonance into overdrive. Truth of the matter is Jehovah isn't too worried about people or kids dieing. Job 10 kids 7 sons 3 daughters dead for what. Egypt plague, probably a hundred thousand kids and another hundred thousand adults. Elisha has Jehovah kill about 40 kids because he was pissed he lost all his hair.
It goes on and on for innocent kids getting killed once you start thinking about it.
The flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Amalekite slaughter, Midianite slaughter, Jericho city collapse I'm sure there are more examples. But, Jephthah's daughter???? Jehovah could never, ever, EVER allow an innocent girl to die!!! Even though that's exactly what is stated happened in the bible.

Rattigan350 Everyone knows what the Abraham and Issac story is meant to teach, obedience and Jesus's future sacrifice. What is ridiculous is the whole premise of the request and why plant this crazy idea in the heads of ancient people to sacrifice your child to appease Jehovah. Especially when all the pagans around are all doing the exact same thing.
The text explicitly says that the vow was to offer her as a burnt offering and that Jephthah carried out his vow. Of course Jehovah would not want him to kill and sacrifice another human, but he didn't care either.
Jehovah wants men to marry only one woman as set forth with Adam and Eve. He doesn't even want you to look at a women with lust. So King David and Solomon couldn't possibly have had all those wives and concubines. Yup for sure!
Judges 11:40 does not say that maidens would visit her every year. It says that every year Israelite women would "commemorate" (tnh) her every year for four days, i.e. lament her death and recount her tale.

Lawless New York City now has nearly 800,000 non-citizen additional city residents eligible to vote.
But if you get rid of these residents (new Dem buzz word) who will pick all the crops in NYC ?????

Is Jehovah ridiculous for asking Abraham to burn Issac? And is Abraham ridiculous for trying to do it?
Are you saying Jehovah is ridiculous for sacrificing his own son?
Count me as ridiculous.
BTW Jehovah isn't really that worried about people dieing especially women. Never did get her name have to ask her about it in the new system.

Jehovah told his faithful and discreet slave in upstate NY what really happenend;
Jephʹthah’s daughter left her father and friends, and spent the rest of her life serving Jehovah at his tabernacle in Shiʹloh. Four days out of every year the women of Israel go to visit her there, and they have a happy time together. The people love Jephʹthah’s daughter because she is such a good servant of Jehovah. - My Book of Bible Stories
I don't know why everyone was so upset in this story all she did was move about 80 miles west to work at the tabernacle. What a grand privilege and honor to serve Jehovah in such a way! I'm sure it was a little hard for her at first, but she probably met new friends and she still had all her old friends who still visited her every year. As a popular young virgin she likely married a rich priest or a hot shepherd boy and started her own family. This story shows us that if we truly trust in Jehovah we will reap his rich blessings!
