Genesis. It's all about descendants of Adam and eve trading their daughters for the promise of becoming a great nation, or land, or farm animals, or wives. It's weird. Basically men have authority over everything and make deals with God sacrificing others for their own wellbeing.

    Oh I was refering to Jephthah asking God to make his army win a war and in return he would kill his daughter and then set her on fire. God said hell yeah!

    At no point does God say "hell yeah". That account is written in a book that's essentially "what not to do".

    Judges 11:29

    Then the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites.

    God was already with Jephthah before he decided to be so extra and decided to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house. (not his daughter). Then he took his vow very literally. There was no need to try and work for such an outcome to begin with, when it was already in God's hands.

    You are skipping the part where God knows all before it happens and nothing can go against God's plan. God beefed up that army knowing full well the eventual outcome, the human sacrifice in his honor. he did nothing about it.

    first thing that came out of his house. (not his daughter

    God knew what was coming through that door

    Genesis 1:29 - New King James Version

    Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
