Judges 11:29-32

11:29

spirit <07307> [the spirit.]

Jephthah <03316> [Jephthah.]

"Jephthah seems to have been judge only of north-east Israel."

passed through ...... went ... Mizpah ....... approached <04708 05674> [over Mizpeh.]

11:30

11:31

then ....... come through <03318> [whatsoever, etc. Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth. shall surely.]

up <05927> [and I will. or, or I will, etc.]

{Weh„ƒleetheehoo “lah,} rather, as Dr. Randolph and others contend, "and I will offer Him (or to Him, i.e., Jehovah) a burnt offering;" for {hoo} may with much more propriety be referred to the person to whom the sacrifice was to be made, than to the thing to be sacrificed. Unless understood in this way, or as the marginal reading, it must have been the vow of a heathen or a madman. If a dog, or other uncleaned animal had met him, he could not have made it a burnt offering; or if his neighbour's wife, sons, etc., his vow gave him no right over them.

11:32

Lord <03068> [the Lord.]
