Judges 11

In this podcast we meet the outcast Jepthah. Interestingly after the elders of the clan sided with the rest of Jepthah's brothers and disinherit him they have to come back and ask him to lead them into battle against the Ammonites. 

Jepthah is a shrewd negotiator with his clan but fails with the King of Ammon. He makes a rash vow to God to offer a burnt offering if he wins the battle. His daughter ends up being the offering. Did he really offer his child on an altar? Did she never marry and become a Tabernacle worker? Why didn't dad know about the escape clause in the Law? 

What are the lessons does God want us to learn?

These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage from Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
