Actually, it was Jepthah's ignorance of the Scriptures that caused him to
sacrifice his daughter.  The Bible says that if a man sins through his
ignorance (as Jepthah did in this vow), he could offer a sacrifice and be
forgiven (and by implication released from the vow).  See Number 15:27.

I heard a preacher once that stated that what the deal meant herewas
that she was given to the Lord as a virgin to serve in his temple like Samuel
was given.
