Jesse Tree Holy Women ~ Jephthah's Daughter

"Drop down dew ye heavens above
and let the clouds rain the just one."
Isaiah 45: 8

"Let this thing be done for me. Grant me two months, so that I may go and wander on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, my companions and I." Judges 11: 37

The virgin daughter of Jephthah became her father's burnt offering to God after his victory over the Ammonites. She was an only child. she willingly accepted the sacrifice of her life to fulfill her father's vow (Woman Word by Miriam Therese Winter).
