    Jephthah. Judges 10:30-40.

    Guy returns from war after vowing to God that if he made him victorious he would “sacrifice to him the first to greet him upon his arrival home” or something like that.

    God doesn’t directly ask it. But his daughter comes to greet him first. And well God doesn’t stop it.

    It’s obviously all nonsense. There isn’t a god to judge as being good or evil. This is a story about some delusion guy that murdered his daughter after winning a battle. But still.

    The bible is filled with blood sacrifice stories like this.
