Assisted+Suicide+by+Jordan

= Bat Yiftach, perek 11 - Assisted Suicide =

The stopy is about a man named Yiftach. As he goes off to war, he makes a promise to God saying that if he wins, he will bring a sacrifice that is the first thing that will come through his house. He expected it to be an animal. So he goes off to war and then comes back, and the first thing to come through was his daughter. So he made a promise and now he had to fulfilll it by slaughtering his daughter as an offering to God. After two months, he does it.

This is assisted suicide that is terrible beacuse his daughter died even though in no way was it her fault, it was her fathers for being careless with his words. I still think he should have spared her life and God would have been ok with it but it is what it is. That is what happened having to do with suicde even though i think it was more like murder.

("And it will be, whatever comes forth, that shall come forth from the doors of my house towards me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be to the Lord, and I will offer him up for a burnt-offering.") ("And it was at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, and he did to her his vow which he had vowed; and she had not known any man, and it was a statute in Israel.")
