Jephtah made a grand request to the Lord of Hosts .He asked the Lord of armies to fight on behalf of Israel and in turn Jephtah would offer a burnt offering of whatever comes first to greet him from his conquest.Here the test of faith lies with Japhta himself because God had already proved and still proves his unquestionable ability to redeem Israel from the grip of her adversaries right from Pharoah to the waters of the Red Sea through to the Amalekites ,Philistines etc.Here God makes to come out first Japhtah 's only daughter in order to ascertain whether Japhtah in his Carnal state would go back on his word because where Japhtah 's heart was there God touched.I assume this was a great test of obedience and l commend Japhtah for having honored his word.
