52 Week Bible Reading Plan – Chronological Order
Each day of each week you are assigned a verse to read from the bible. When you click on the verse, the verse will display within the Bible Gateway website. Each verse will open up in the NKJV, however, feel free at the top to change to the version of the bible you feel most comfortable with.
When your reading assignment is completed for that day, come back to this page and check off that reading assignment. Then hit “Save and Continue” at the bottom of this page.
DO NOT HIT “SUBMIT” until you have completed your entire Reading Plan package at the end of the year.
You will be asked to add your email address, so the system will remember you the next time when you come back to this Reading Plan page, to do your other assignment(s). The system will also give you a link so you can bookmark this page and/or send you an email with the link to that page, so you can continue to mark your progress.

Did Jephthah really offer his daughter as a bunt offering?

Verse 39 gives us every reason to believe that this “offering” was carried out since it became an annual custom to “lament” over this daughter.
This type of sacrifice was forbidden by Mosaic Law, but was common practice with the Ammonites. Why would Jephthah make this vow – a vow God would not honor or be honored by? The defeat was not the result of this vow, but the will of the Lord for His people. The vow displeased God (again, it was against the law He had given) and it displeased Jephthah. Did Jephthah expect a person to immerge from the house? Remember that animals were normally housed on the first floor just inside the door at night for their protection. First thing in the morning, the animals would be released and allow out, so he would not have conceived that it would be his only daughter, his only heir. What does this episode teach us? Rash, reckless vows (which are counter to actions that would please God) should not be considered or uttered. The appropriate response should have been repentance for the rash vow rather than the sacrificing of the daughter (which again did not please God). It is better to please God than to save face before men. He might have believed and even said that his integrity depended on his keeping the vow, but it had been wrongly spoken and should have been repented of instead of carried to fruition at the life of his daughter.
