📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Judges, Jephthah was a warrior from Gilead who had been rejected by his half-brothers but was later approached by the elders of Gilead to lead them against the Ammonites due to his military skills. As part of their agreement, the elders swore an oath invoking the Lord as a witness to ensure they would honor Jephthah's terms, reflecting the ancient Israelite practice of using divine oaths to bind agreements and prevent deception. This occurred during a time of repeated cycles of Israelite rebellion, oppression by enemies, and deliverance by judges raised up by God.
