Judges 11 : 39, 40

#QUESTION: Did Jephthah kill his daughter?

No, Judges chapter 11 v 40 explains that after He dedicated his daughter to God the her female companions would go and visit her once a year.

Young's Literal Translation reads:

"from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in a year."

Although many bibles render this verse "lament" the Hebrew verb תָּנָה (tanah, “to tell; to repeat; to recount”) is defined in A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon (edited by B. Davies, 1957, p. 693) as “to repeat, to rehearse.” At Judges 11:40 the King James Version renders the term “lament,” but the margin reads “talk with.”

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament, states:

"תּנּה does not mean θρηνεῖν, to lament or bewail (lxx, Chald., etc.), but to praise, as R. Tanchum and others maintain."

...

"the still further clause in the account of the fulfilment of the vow, "and she knew no man," is not in harmony with the assumption of a sacrificial death. This clause would add nothing to the description in that case, since it was already known that she was a virgin. The words only gain their proper sense if we connect them with the previous clause [...] i.e., he fulfilled the vow through the fact that she knew no man, but dedicated her life to the Lord [...] in a lifelong chastity." -- ibid

"some single Christians would like to be married, but they have yet to find a suitable mate among worshippers of Jehovah. (1 Cor. 7:39) A single sister might see that her unbelieving coworkers are always trying to introduce her to some potential mate. The sister might be battling feelings of loneliness. Still, she puts forth determined effort to maintain her integrity to Jehovah. Do wem not appreciate such sterling examples of loyalty? Surely Jehovah will reward all who remain faithful to him despite difficulties.—Heb. 11:6." - w13 6/15 p. 20 par 10

decide whether to get married?

Whether to stay single or to get married is a matter of determining in one’s heart if one is able to cultivate the gift of singleness. The apostle Paul recommended singleness; yet, he said: “Because of the prevalence of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband.” Paul added: “If they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be inflamed with passion.” Getting married can help a person to avoid letting passion lead him to such a practice as masturbation or to sexual immorality. In addition, age is a factor to consider, for the apostle stated: “If anyone thinks he is behaving improperly by remaining unmarried, and if he is past the bloom of youth, then this is what should take place: Let him do what he wants; he does not sin. Let them marry.” (1 Cor. 7:2, 9, 36; 1 Tim. 4:1-3) Nevertheless, a person should not be prompted to marry because of surges of passion that may come in youth. He may not be mature enough to take on the responsibilities of married life." - w16 8/15 p. 12 par 17
