Judges 11:31

then whatever comes through the door of my house to meet me when I return in shalom (peace) from the Ammonites shall be the Lord's (Yahweh's), and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."
[The word whatever (Hebr. vehaja) can describe an object, an animal, or a person. Hebrew makes no distinction between an object and a living thing. However, a dead thing cannot meet him at the door, so Jephthah must be referring to either an animal or a person. There are also restrictions on what can be sacrificed; for example, an unclean animal such as a dog cannot be sacrificed to the Lord (Yahweh). The idea of human sacrifice was not uncommon among the religions of neighboring peoples (Deut. 18:10) and was something Abraham was tested with (Gen. 22:1–2).The word burnt offering is used hundreds of times in the Old Testament and always refers to a sacrifice offered on an altar. However, if one interprets the sacrifice figuratively, it could be about consecrating the first person who met him to serve in the tabernacle, similar to how Hannah consecrates Samuel, see 1 Sam. 1:11, and if it was an animal, it would be sacrificed. Jephthah was a man of faith and is mentioned among other men and women who showed strong faith (Heb. 11:32–33), which indicates that what he did was right.]
