Judges 11:1

And Jephthah (Hebr. Yiftach), the Gileadite, was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead gave birth to Jephthah.
[The name Jephthah (Hebr. Yiftach) means "he has opened." The name seems to express his mother's joy at having given birth to a son. However, it is not entirely clear who "he" refers to, but it probably refers to some deity who has opened her womb. The word is used for a place called Jiftach-el (Josh. 19:14, 27) where the general name for God (Hebr. El) is used. One possibility is that Jiftach's name is "Jiftach-El" or "Jiftach-Yahweh," i.e., that it refers to the God of Israel, but based on the story, this is unfortunately unlikely. His name was perhaps rather "Jephthah-Baal." His mother's occupation, his father's actions, his half-brothers' character, and Jephthah's own actions point to a strong influence of Canaanite culture and religion.]
