Did you purposefully ignore this quoted text then?
Quote:
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 ... will be the Lord's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering." ... and the Lord gave them into his hands.... When Jephthah returned to his home..., who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of tambourines! And he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin.
-- Judges 11:30-32, 34, 39 (NIV)

I didn't look it up, just reading the thread. But it sure looks that way to me. Unless "I will sacrifice it as a
burnt offering" doesn't mean what it sounds like it means...
Quzah.
