‘JEPHTAH’S DAUGHTER MEETS HIM AT THE DOOR OF HIS HOUSE (..).’

– Original antique print illustrating the biblical scene from Judges 11, where Jephthah is being met by his daughter upon his return from war. The image illustrates the tragic climax of Jephthah’s rash vow. Before leading the Israelites into battle against the Ammonites, Jephthah promised God that if he were granted victory, he would sacrifice as a burnt offering whatever first came out of the doors of his house to meet him.
