Abstract

Jephthah and the people, and Jephthah and YHWH, are bound by the stipulation of YHWH’s intervention in the war. This indicates that Jephthah’s vow to sacrifice those who oppose him upon his return from battle should not be perceived in isolation but rather in light of the agreement made in YHWH’s presence. The phrase ‘come out to meet’ (יצא לקראת‎) describes not only the content of Jephthah’s vow (11.31) but also the appearance of his daughter (11.34). This article argues for this identical phrase as an antanaclasis. On this reading, Jephthah’s vow to sacrifice a person who comes out to meet him in his peaceful return was not made in exchange for victory in war but rather to atone for sins committed by rejecting the terms of the contract. Moreover, it was transformed by his daughter into a celebration of the Israelites’ victory, deliverance, and territorial expansion beyond its protection.

耶弗他许愿的新方法:安塔那那利西斯(士师记10-11)

耶弗他和人民，耶弗他和耶和华，都被耶和华介入战争的规定所约束。这表明耶弗他从战场上回来后要牺牲那些反对他的人的誓言不应该被孤立地看待，而应该被看作是在耶和华面前达成的协议。“出来迎接”这个短语不仅描述了耶弗他许愿的内容(11.31)，也描述了他女儿的样子(11.34)。这篇文章认为这是一个完全相同的短语。在这段经文中，耶弗他发誓要牺牲一个在他和平归来时出来迎接他的人，不是为了换取战争的胜利，而是为了赎罪，因为他拒绝了契约的条款。此外，他的女儿把这个节日变成了庆祝以色列人的胜利、拯救和领土扩张的节日。
