Orthodox Jewish folks please?

In Judges 11: 30-31 it says, '' And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: ''if you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.'' Of course, you know he goes on to win the victory over the Ammonites and upon returning home sees his daughter coming to greet him from his house.

He gives her two months to mourn that she will not marry and kills her and sacrifices her as a burnt offering.

Deuteronomy 12:31 says, ''You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detesable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.''

My question is that if God does not accept human sacrifice, then why did He accept Jephthah's? One Jewish lady cited this last scripture to show that the Jews considered this act to be detestable. Thank you!

It is used by the Rabbis to show something detestable! There is a procedure called ''Heter Nedarim'' whereby one can annul a personal vow, after which you brign a ''Korban Chatas'' (sin offering) and the vow is annuled. this vow was a personal one and thus Jepthah should have nullified. In fact- Rashi in his cemmentary 11:39 states that after her death the comment ''it was a statute'' points out that the Sanhedrin heavily piblicised the law in such a matter to prevent it from ever happening again sine Phinehas the Kohen would have annulled the vow! he also states that Jepthah's life was cut short and died painfully from boils as a result of this action.
