Back then, the woman was chattel. She didn't matter in the whole scheme of things, other than being a baby factory. It didn't matter what she thought or felt, if a woman disagreed with her husband he'd simply beat the crap out of her or divorce her or kill her. Good times, good times.

For the most part, I'd agree with you. But the foundation of three world religions center on this family. Why do some revere the offspring of one mother and not the other?

But god is omniscient he knows all, he knew who would be the first out the door. He could have stopped it.

Are there any more instances where God commanded someone to sacrifice their own child? I ask in hopes that I may be educated again on the Bible. I honestly was not aware of Jephthah's daughter.
