    Quite well done and with a bit of humour. The conundrum, as far as I can see is that despite 'olah' meaning 'burnt sacrifice', the scripture clearly says Jephthah's daughter went and wept over her virginity with her gal pals for two months and then returned home.

    So what is it? Throat cut or intact hymen?

    Is there a translation error on someones part?
