Jephthah's daughter: the text is ambiguous - she may have been killed as a burnt offering or dedicated as a lifelong virgin servant at the temple; Mike slightly leans toward the literal sacrifice reading.
What happened to Jephthah's daughter?
The daughter mourned her virginity (i.e., not having children - central to OT honor), which could fit either interpretation. Mike notes the ambiguity but leans toward a literal burnt offering, while acknowledging the temple-dedication view is argued by others.
