The Condemnation of Jephthah

The Condemnation of Jephthah

  • Semi-Technical
  • Tamie S. Davis

What is the best way to read the story of Jephthah and his daughters in Judges 11:29-40? This essay sees a combination of intertextuality and literary context as the best tools for a good understanding of the text. The author argues that Jephthah is presented as an inversion of Abraham.
