I guessed you missed the part where the Canaanites, the people you love, were sacrificing their kids as a weekly event, while this story only says that he would sacrifice whatever he saw event though the later verse states that she remained isolated with her friends for the rest of their lives.What's the main difference between Jephy and almost every other military leader in the Scriptures?
In fact, Jephy's attitude would get him the firing squad in almost every military in history.
The main difference was they didn't kill their own kids as a victory celebration.
Frankly, the story doesn't go into a lot of detail about what kind of military leader he was, other than he won, not only defeating the Ammonites and the Ephraimites.
The tactic of making people pronounce the word "Shibboleth" to pick out the Ephraimites from the other tribes of Israel was kind of clever. I mean, other than his killing 42,000 of his fellow Hebrews in the process.
You just love to lie.
