00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.360
They<00:06:15.779><c> were</c><00:06:15.959><c> people</c><00:06:16.300><c> who</c><00:06:16.579><c> set</c><00:06:16.759><c> up</c><00:06:16.980><c> kings</c><00:06:17.379><c> on</c><00:06:17.660><c> themselves</c><00:06:18.279><c> of</c>

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:26.319

00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.439
And<00:06:32.459><c> so</c><00:06:32.759><c> there's</c><00:06:33.040><c> a</c><00:06:33.240><c> pattern</c><00:06:33.500><c> developing</c><00:06:34.019><c> in</c><00:06:34.339><c> the</c><00:06:34.879><c> nation's</c>

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:38.860
It's<00:06:36.680><c> almost</c><00:06:36.939><c> as</c><00:06:37.160><c> though</c><00:06:37.319><c> they're</c><00:06:37.759><c> getting</c><00:06:38.079><c> themselves</c><00:06:38.500><c> into</c>

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.600

00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.459
Once<00:06:56.600><c> that's</c><00:06:57.079><c> happened,</c><00:06:58.120><c> we</c><00:06:58.259><c> find</c><00:06:58.639><c> that</c><00:06:59.439><c> there</c><00:06:59.639><c> was</c><00:06:59.839><c> a</c><00:07:00.100><c> period</c>

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.480
And<00:07:09.459><c> we</c><00:07:09.639><c> have</c><00:07:09.959><c> actually</c><00:07:10.620><c> five</c><00:07:11.139><c> of</c><00:07:11.300><c> these,</c><00:07:11.819><c> people</c><00:07:12.079><c> call</c><00:07:12.300><c> them</c>

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.500
It's<00:07:13.420><c> like</c><00:07:13.560><c> we</c><00:07:13.699><c> call</c><00:07:13.879><c> the</c><00:07:14.860><c> Old</c><00:07:15.060><c> Testament</c><00:07:15.360><c> prophets,</c><00:07:15.839><c> minor</c><00:07:16.199><c> prophets.</c>

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.339
There's<00:07:16.860><c> nothing</c><00:07:17.019><c> minor</c><00:07:17.439><c> about</c><00:07:17.720><c> these</c><00:07:18.000><c> people.</c>

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:22.379
If<00:07:18.920><c> you</c><00:07:19.360><c> look</c><00:07:19.519><c> at</c><00:07:19.680><c> these</c><00:07:20.160><c> men</c><00:07:20.699><c> here,</c><00:07:21.560><c> you</c><00:07:21.680><c> find</c><00:07:21.879><c> they</c><00:07:22.100><c> judged</c>

00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:29.800
Now<00:07:28.120><c> we're</c><00:07:28.220><c> not</c><00:07:28.339><c> told</c><00:07:28.560><c> anything</c><00:07:28.819><c> about</c><00:07:29.100><c> what</c><00:07:29.259><c> went</c><00:07:29.459><c> on</c><00:07:29.620><c> in</c>

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:35.279

But<00:07:38.959><c> these</c><00:07:39.259><c> men</c><00:07:39.500><c> must</c><00:07:39.720><c> have</c><00:07:39.819><c> been</c><00:07:40.079><c> just</c><00:07:40.439><c> as</c><00:07:40.660><c> powerful,</c><00:07:42.160><c> just</c>

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.519
Gideon,<00:12:56.299><c> Barak,</c><00:12:56.879><c> Samson,</c><00:12:57.419><c> Jephthah.</c>

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:02.340
Now,<00:12:59.759><c> what's</c><00:13:00.100><c> wrong</c><00:13:00.379><c> with</c><00:13:00.639><c> that</c><00:13:01.340><c> quotation?</c>

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:05.840
It's<00:13:04.059><c> a</c><00:13:04.159><c> wrong</c><00:13:04.299><c> order,</c><00:13:04.600><c> isn't</c><00:13:04.720><c> it?</c>

00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.700
Gideon<00:13:06.779><c> came</c><00:13:07.019><c> after</c><00:13:07.259><c> Barak.</c>

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.600
So<00:13:16.039><c> why</c><00:13:16.259><c> has</c><00:13:16.379><c> God</c><00:13:16.620><c> caused</c><00:13:16.919><c> them</c><00:13:17.080><c> to</c><00:13:17.220><c> be</c><00:13:17.360><c> put</c><00:13:17.460><c> in</c><00:13:17.539><c> that</c><00:13:17.779><c> order?</c>

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.059
That's<00:13:20.879><c> the</c><00:13:21.000><c> question.</c>

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:49.299
Those<00:13:48.500><c> are</c><00:13:48.659><c> the</c><00:13:48.740><c> words.</c>

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:52.740
Thou<00:13:49.919><c> shalt</c><00:13:50.240><c> not</c><00:13:50.480><c> inherit</c><00:13:50.919><c> in</c><00:13:51.519><c> our</c><00:13:51.860><c> father's</c><00:13:52.320><c> house,</c>

00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.759
The<00:13:57.860><c> word</c><00:13:58.100><c> strange</c><00:13:58.519><c> there</c><00:13:58.759><c> means</c><00:13:59.159><c> to</c><00:14:00.080><c> loiter,</c><00:14:00.559><c> to</c><00:14:00.759><c> be</c><00:14:00.899><c> left</c><00:14:01.159><c> behind.</c>

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.620
And<00:14:02.419><c> it</c><00:14:02.559><c> seems</c><00:14:02.899><c> as</c><00:14:03.080><c> though</c><00:14:03.759><c> Jephthah's</c><00:14:04.220><c> father</c><00:14:04.600><c> had</c><00:14:04.960><c> had</c><00:14:05.080><c> a</c><00:14:05.240><c> relationship</c>

They<00:14:18.320><c> actually</c><00:14:18.659><c> went</c><00:14:18.940><c> in</c><00:14:19.240><c> and</c><00:14:19.539><c> they</c><00:14:19.919><c> cleared</c><00:14:20.279><c> the</c><00:14:20.679><c> area</c><00:14:20.919><c> of</c><00:14:21.120><c> Gilead.</c>

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:24.960
Perhaps<00:14:22.179><c> that</c><00:14:22.379><c> explains</c><00:14:22.779><c> why</c><00:14:23.019><c> Jephthah</c><00:14:24.340><c> was</c><00:14:24.659><c> there</c>

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:38.620
they<00:14:36.460><c> weren't</c><00:14:36.639><c> going</c><00:14:36.759><c> to</c><00:14:36.840><c> have</c><00:14:36.940><c> anything</c><00:14:37.179><c> to</c><00:14:37.320><c> do</c><00:14:37.379><c> with</c><00:14:37.539><c> this</c><00:14:37.799><c> man.</c>

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.379
These<00:16:14.399><c> are</c><00:16:14.559><c> the</c><00:16:14.720><c> people</c><00:16:15.000><c> that</c><00:16:15.240><c> rally</c><00:16:15.460><c> to</c><00:16:15.700><c> Jephthah</c>

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.360

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:45.019
And<00:16:41.720><c> so</c><00:16:41.799><c> it</c><00:16:41.919><c> is</c><00:16:42.139><c> that</c><00:16:42.820><c> this</c><00:16:43.039><c> man</c><00:16:43.379><c> lives</c><00:16:43.700><c> his</c><00:16:43.960><c> life</c>

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.820
And<00:16:52.379><c> he</c><00:16:52.519><c> obviously</c><00:16:52.720><c> gains</c><00:16:53.059><c> a</c><00:16:53.259><c> reputation</c>

They<00:18:04.559><c> come</c><00:18:04.819><c> and</c><00:18:04.980><c> they</c><00:18:05.140><c> say</c><00:18:05.299><c> to</c><00:18:05.519><c> Jephthah,</c>

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.200

00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.599
It<00:18:15.819><c> wasn't</c><00:18:16.140><c> just</c><00:18:16.500><c> a</c><00:18:16.660><c> family</c><00:18:17.039><c> dispute,</c><00:18:17.599><c> you</c><00:18:17.680><c> see.</c>

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.140
It<00:18:19.680><c> wasn't</c><00:18:19.960><c> just</c><00:18:20.299><c> a</c><00:18:20.420><c> family</c><00:18:20.720><c> dispute</c>

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.680

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.680
because<00:18:27.319><c> he</c><00:18:27.859><c> obviously</c><00:18:28.299><c> was</c><00:18:28.980><c> too</c><00:18:29.299><c> awkward</c>

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.279

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:37.259

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:39.420
A<00:18:37.839><c> man</c><00:18:38.059><c> who</c><00:18:38.200><c> didn't</c><00:18:38.380><c> mince</c><00:18:38.619><c> his</c><00:18:38.839><c> words,</c>

00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.380

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.619
And<00:18:42.920><c> people</c><00:18:43.039><c> don't</c><00:18:43.299><c> like</c><00:18:43.460><c> that,</c><00:18:43.740><c> do</c><00:18:43.799><c> they?</c>

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.180
We<00:18:44.779><c> don't</c><00:18:44.980><c> like</c><00:18:45.200><c> it</c><00:18:45.299><c> when</c><00:18:45.440><c> the</c><00:18:45.640><c> truth</c><00:18:45.759><c> is</c><00:18:45.960><c> spoken,</c>

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.220
even<00:18:46.420><c> when</c><00:18:46.519><c> it's</c><00:18:46.720><c> spoken</c><00:18:46.940><c> in</c><00:18:47.200><c> love,</c>

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:49.680
and<00:18:48.779><c> gently,</c>

00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:54.000
because<00:18:50.359><c> the</c><00:18:50.640><c> truth</c><00:18:51.359><c> divides</c><00:18:52.140><c> us</c><00:18:53.019><c> asunder.</c>

It<00:18:54.640><c> reveals</c><00:18:55.140><c> our</c><00:18:55.380><c> innermost</c><00:18:55.720><c> thoughts</c><00:18:56.259><c> and</c><00:18:56.839><c> intents.</c>

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.880
And<00:18:59.200><c> so</c><00:18:59.400><c> he</c><00:18:59.579><c> says,</c>

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.500
Did<00:19:00.099><c> not</c><00:19:00.319><c> ye</c><00:19:00.460><c> hate</c><00:19:00.740><c> me</c>

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.079
And<00:19:03.740><c> why</c><00:19:03.859><c> are</c><00:19:04.000><c> ye</c><00:19:04.160><c> coming</c><00:19:04.380><c> to</c><00:19:04.519><c> me</c><00:19:04.720><c> now</c>

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:06.200

00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.000
It's<00:19:06.400><c> exactly</c><00:19:06.680><c> what</c><00:19:06.819><c> God</c><00:19:07.059><c> said</c><00:19:07.240><c> to</c><00:19:07.359><c> them,</c><00:19:07.519><c> wasn't</c><00:19:07.660><c> it?</c>

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.940
It's<00:19:08.319><c> exactly</c><00:19:08.460><c> what</c><00:19:08.599><c> the</c><00:19:08.799><c> angel</c><00:19:09.000><c> had</c><00:19:09.220><c> said.</c>

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:12.059
Well,<00:19:10.559><c> you</c><00:19:10.779><c> know,</c><00:19:10.799><c> you've</c><00:19:10.940><c> been</c><00:19:11.059><c> having</c><00:19:11.119><c> a</c><00:19:11.240><c> good</c><00:19:11.420><c> time</c><00:19:11.640><c> up</c><00:19:11.799><c> to</c><00:19:11.920><c> now</c>

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:16.220
Why<00:19:14.720><c> are</c><00:19:14.799><c> you</c><00:19:14.859><c> coming</c><00:19:15.059><c> to</c><00:19:15.279><c> me?</c>

00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:22.000
We<00:19:20.420><c> turn</c><00:19:20.700><c> again</c><00:19:21.019><c> to</c><00:19:21.220><c> thee</c><00:19:21.440><c> now,</c>

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:31.960
Now<00:19:30.539><c> you</c><00:19:30.559><c> notice</c><00:19:30.839><c> that</c><00:19:31.039><c> phrase,</c>

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:36.779
The<00:19:36.019><c> inference</c><00:19:36.299><c> is,</c><00:19:36.680><c> isn't</c><00:19:36.680><c> it,</c>

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.259
that<00:19:36.940><c> he</c><00:19:37.079><c> had</c><00:19:37.240><c> been</c><00:19:37.420><c> their</c><00:19:37.700><c> head</c><00:19:37.819><c> once</c><00:19:38.160><c> before.</c>

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.099
So<00:20:03.700><c> rumour</c><00:20:04.059><c> spreads.</c>

All<00:20:18.660><c> the</c><00:20:18.839><c> time.</c>

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.220
And<00:20:22.160><c> so</c><00:20:22.599><c> Jephthah</c><00:20:22.940><c> says,</c>

00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:25.500

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:52.119
But<00:20:50.519><c> you</c><00:20:50.579><c> notice</c><00:20:50.779><c> where</c><00:20:50.900><c> he</c><00:20:50.940><c> says,</c><00:20:51.259><c> if</c><00:20:51.400><c> the</c><00:20:51.660><c> Lord,</c>

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:55.700

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.640
And<00:20:57.519><c> so</c><00:20:57.960><c> the</c><00:20:59.019><c> people</c><00:20:59.099><c> don't,</c>

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.259
He's<00:21:02.640><c> not</c><00:21:02.759><c> going</c><00:21:02.880><c> to</c><00:21:02.920><c> be</c><00:21:03.039><c> put</c><00:21:03.160><c> on</c><00:21:03.339><c> probation.</c>

He<00:21:05.299><c> goes,</c><00:21:06.140><c> and</c><00:21:06.259><c> he's</c><00:21:06.519><c> appointed</c><00:21:07.000><c> their</c><00:21:07.619><c> captain.</c>

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:10.940
And<00:21:09.720><c> as</c><00:21:09.839><c> soon</c><00:21:09.940><c> as</c><00:21:09.940><c> he's</c><00:21:10.200><c> appointed</c><00:21:10.480><c> the</c><00:21:10.700><c> captain,</c>

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.920

ever<00:21:21.440><c> to</c><00:21:21.619><c> the</c><00:21:21.819><c> beginning,</c><00:21:22.160><c> we</c><00:21:22.339><c> don't</c><00:21:22.519><c> have</c><00:21:22.720><c> to</c><00:21:22.920><c> fight,</c>

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:24.720
we'll<00:21:23.619><c> talk</c><00:21:23.779><c> first</c><00:21:24.119><c> of</c><00:21:24.299><c> all,</c>

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:28.920
and<00:21:24.900><c> we'll</c><00:21:25.039><c> see</c><00:21:25.140><c> if</c><00:21:25.220><c> we</c><00:21:25.359><c> can</c><00:21:25.559><c> settle</c><00:21:25.839><c> this</c><00:21:26.240><c> dispute</c><00:21:26.619><c> amicably.</c>

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.160
I've<00:21:46.119><c> put</c><00:21:46.200><c> this</c><00:21:46.759><c> back</c><00:21:46.980><c> up</c><00:21:47.180><c> from</c><00:21:47.660><c> yesterday.</c>

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.220
This<00:21:49.000><c> is</c><00:21:49.160><c> where</c><00:21:50.960><c> Jephthah</c><00:21:52.380><c> lived.</c>

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:58.859
These<00:21:54.460><c> were</c><00:21:54.680><c> the</c><00:21:54.839><c> tribes,</c><00:21:55.819><c> Ephraim,</c><00:21:57.099><c> Benjamin,</c><00:21:58.079><c> Judah,</c>

00:21:59.099 --> 00:22:00.940
that<00:21:59.160><c> were</c><00:21:59.259><c> being</c><00:21:59.460><c> affected</c><00:21:59.859><c> by</c><00:22:00.160><c> the</c><00:22:00.299><c> children</c><00:22:00.559><c> of</c><00:22:00.759><c> Ammon,</c>

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:05.079

00:22:05.539 --> 00:22:07.259
And<00:22:05.599><c> so</c><00:22:05.740><c> Gilead</c><00:22:06.119><c> was</c><00:22:06.299><c> in</c><00:22:06.440><c> the</c><00:22:06.599><c> front</c><00:22:06.819><c> line.</c>

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.859
They<00:22:07.799><c> were</c><00:22:07.980><c> the</c><00:22:08.099><c> first</c><00:22:08.259><c> people</c><00:22:08.980><c> to</c><00:22:09.500><c> fill</c><00:22:09.799><c> the</c><00:22:10.400><c> onslaught.</c>

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.279
And<00:22:12.440><c> so</c><00:22:12.619><c> this</c><00:22:12.880><c> area</c><00:22:13.180><c> here,</c><00:22:14.140><c> half</c><00:22:14.279><c>-tribal</c><00:22:14.660><c> Manasseh,</c><00:22:15.299><c> Gad,</c><00:22:16.000><c> Rubin,</c>

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.279
these<00:22:16.819><c> were</c><00:22:17.000><c> the</c><00:22:17.160><c> people</c><00:22:17.640><c> who</c><00:22:18.059><c> had</c><00:22:18.259><c> the</c><00:22:18.440><c> most</c><00:22:18.720><c> to</c><00:22:18.980><c> do</c>

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.079
And<00:22:22.559><c> so</c><00:22:22.900><c> this</c><00:22:23.200><c> is</c><00:22:23.400><c> where</c><00:22:24.240><c> Jephthah</c><00:22:24.640><c> is,</c>

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.160
right<00:22:26.940><c> in</c><00:22:27.660><c> the</c><00:22:27.819><c> main</c><00:22:28.099><c> thrust</c><00:22:28.539><c> of</c><00:22:29.200><c> the</c><00:22:29.359><c> enemy.</c>

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:35.200
And<00:22:30.640><c> he</c><00:22:30.819><c> places</c><00:22:31.500><c> four</c><00:22:33.000><c> points</c><00:22:33.559><c> to</c><00:22:34.220><c> the</c><00:22:34.380><c> enemy.</c>

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.900
We're<00:22:35.579><c> not</c><00:22:35.700><c> going</c><00:22:35.799><c> to</c><00:22:35.859><c> read</c><00:22:36.059><c> all</c><00:22:36.339><c> of</c><00:22:36.640><c> chapter</c><00:22:36.920><c> 11.</c>

00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:40.819
But<00:22:39.380><c> you</c><00:22:39.480><c> know</c><00:22:39.640><c> basically</c><00:22:40.039><c> what</c><00:22:40.200><c> he</c><00:22:40.420><c> says</c>

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:47.799
He<00:22:46.180><c> says</c><00:22:46.700><c> to</c><00:22:47.220><c> the</c><00:22:47.319><c> king</c><00:22:47.539><c> of</c><00:22:47.720><c> Ammon,</c>

Gilead,<00:22:51.339><c> Moab,</c><00:22:51.819><c> all</c><00:22:52.059><c> belongs</c><00:22:52.359><c> to</c><00:22:52.579><c> us.</c>

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.519
And<00:22:54.039><c> Jephthah</c><00:22:54.299><c> says,</c><00:22:54.819><c> well,</c><00:22:55.619><c> first</c><00:22:55.859><c> of</c><00:22:56.039><c> all,</c>

We<00:22:59.839><c> want</c><00:22:59.980><c> it</c><00:23:00.140><c> in</c><00:23:00.279><c> battle.</c>

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:07.759
Secondly,<00:23:05.079><c> if</c><00:23:05.539><c> your</c><00:23:05.980><c> gods</c><00:23:06.400><c> are</c><00:23:06.740><c> stronger</c><00:23:06.980><c> than</c><00:23:07.180><c> our</c><00:23:07.420><c> gods,</c>

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:16.019
Thirdly,<00:23:14.339><c> the</c><00:23:14.380><c> king</c><00:23:14.559><c> of</c><00:23:14.779><c> Ammon</c><00:23:14.940><c> is</c><00:23:15.079><c> not</c><00:23:15.319><c> the</c><00:23:15.500><c> man,</c>

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.759
shall<00:26:01.660><c> surely</c><00:26:02.019><c> be</c><00:26:02.279><c> the</c><00:26:02.460><c> Lord's,</c><00:26:03.160><c> and</c><00:26:03.319><c> I</c><00:26:03.460><c> will</c><00:26:03.579><c> offer</c><00:26:03.759><c> it</c><00:26:03.900><c> up</c><00:26:04.440><c> for</c><00:26:04.680><c> a</c>

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:09.519
So<00:26:06.440><c> Jephthah</c><00:26:06.779><c> passed</c><00:26:07.059><c> over</c><00:26:07.740><c> unto</c><00:26:08.059><c> the</c><00:26:08.200><c> children</c><00:26:08.500><c> of</c><00:26:08.700><c> Ammon</c><00:26:09.019><c> to</c>

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:16.420
and<00:26:13.339><c> he</c><00:26:13.660><c> smoked</c><00:26:13.819><c> them</c><00:26:14.400><c> from</c><00:26:14.720><c> Aurora,</c><00:26:15.539><c> even</c><00:26:15.759><c> unto</c><00:26:16.039><c> that</c><00:26:16.240><c> come</c>

great<00:26:21.079><c> slaughter.</c>

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:26.180
Now<00:26:23.740><c> we</c><00:26:23.859><c> know</c><00:26:24.019><c> the</c><00:26:24.220><c> arguments</c><00:26:24.660><c> that</c><00:26:25.019><c> rage</c><00:26:25.299><c> backwards</c><00:26:25.640><c> and</c><00:26:25.920><c> forwards.</c>

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:31.920

00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:45.279
And<00:26:40.099><c> we</c><00:26:40.279><c> get</c><00:26:40.460><c> into</c><00:26:40.680><c> all</c><00:26:40.880><c> the</c><00:26:41.079><c> arguments</c><00:26:41.480><c> about</c><00:26:41.859><c> whether</c><00:26:42.099><c> that's</c><00:26:42.539><c> a</c><00:26:42.660><c> proper</c><00:26:42.880><c> translation</c><00:26:43.559><c> or</c><00:26:44.299><c> not.</c>

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.019
Now<00:26:47.619><c> I've</c><00:26:48.220><c> got</c><00:26:48.460><c> a</c><00:26:49.019><c> sort</c><00:26:49.140><c> of</c><00:26:49.319><c> summary</c><00:26:49.680><c> of</c><00:26:49.940><c> the</c><00:26:50.259><c> arguments</c><00:26:50.759><c> that</c>

00:26:53.759 --> 00:27:09.200
Did<00:26:54.740><c> Jephthah</c><00:27:05.779><c> sacrifice</c><00:27:07.119><c> his</c><00:27:07.319><c> daughter</c><00:27:07.779><c> on</c><00:27:08.839><c> the</c><00:27:09.000><c> altar?</c>

00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.440

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.279
Hands<00:27:12.980><c> up</c><00:27:13.240><c> all</c><00:27:13.440><c> those</c><00:27:13.700><c> who</c><00:27:13.940><c> think</c><00:27:14.460><c> Jephthah</c><00:27:15.400><c> sacrificed</c><00:27:16.039><c> his</c>

00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:25.279
Okay.<00:27:20.940><c> Hands</c><00:27:21.200><c> up</c><00:27:21.420><c> all</c><00:27:21.640><c> those</c><00:27:22.059><c> who</c><00:27:22.960><c> think</c><00:27:23.460><c> that</c><00:27:24.000><c> she</c><00:27:24.099><c> was</c><00:27:24.319><c> dedicated</c><00:27:24.880><c> to</c><00:27:25.160><c> a</c>

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:26.720

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.460
Hands<00:27:29.720><c> up</c><00:27:29.839><c> those</c><00:27:30.000><c> who</c><00:27:30.099><c> don't</c><00:27:30.400><c> know.</c>

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:36.579
Fine.<00:27:35.200><c> Well,</c><00:27:35.380><c> I'm</c><00:27:35.579><c> amongst</c><00:27:35.819><c> friends</c><00:27:36.119><c> then.</c>

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:43.339
The<00:27:37.440><c> majority</c><00:27:37.940><c> think</c><00:27:38.319><c> that</c><00:27:40.180><c> she</c><00:27:41.940><c> was</c><00:27:42.160><c> dedicated.</c>

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.460
Now<00:27:54.079><c> those</c><00:27:54.259><c> are</c><00:27:54.460><c> the</c><00:27:54.599><c> various</c><00:27:54.920><c> arguments</c><00:27:55.559><c> that</c><00:27:56.039><c> are</c><00:27:56.180><c> gone</c><00:27:56.480><c> through.</c>

00:27:59.380 --> 00:28:03.220
But<00:27:59.539><c> I</c><00:27:59.759><c> think</c><00:28:00.299><c> when</c><00:28:00.819><c> we</c><00:28:01.039><c> think</c><00:28:01.220><c> about</c><00:28:01.460><c> the</c><00:28:01.640><c> whole</c><00:28:01.859><c> situation,</c>

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.960

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.900
it's<00:28:09.579><c> acceptable</c><00:28:10.019><c> to</c><00:28:10.599><c> offer</c><00:28:10.839><c> a</c><00:28:11.059><c> human</c><00:28:11.240><c> being</c><00:28:11.500><c> as</c><00:28:11.700><c> a</c><00:28:11.880><c> sacrifice?</c>

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:18.500
What<00:28:15.759><c> was</c><00:28:16.160><c> the</c><00:28:16.440><c> requirement</c><00:28:16.920><c> of</c><00:28:17.259><c> a</c><00:28:17.460><c> burnt</c><00:28:17.640><c> offering?</c>

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:20.720
You<00:28:18.700><c> see,</c><00:28:18.779><c> if</c><00:28:18.880><c> he</c><00:28:19.019><c> says,</c><00:28:19.599><c> and</c><00:28:19.599><c> I</c><00:28:19.720><c> will</c><00:28:19.880><c> offer</c><00:28:20.059><c> it</c><00:28:20.279><c> up</c><00:28:20.420><c> for</c><00:28:20.619><c> a</c>

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.980
You<00:28:33.180><c> can't</c><00:28:33.420><c> offer</c><00:28:33.599><c> anything</c><00:28:33.880><c> else</c><00:28:34.539><c> for</c><00:28:34.880><c> a</c><00:28:34.940><c> burnt</c><00:28:35.119><c> offering.</c>

There's<00:28:38.500><c> no</c><00:28:38.839><c> mention</c><00:28:39.200><c> of</c><00:28:39.500><c> offering</c><00:28:39.920><c> a</c><00:28:40.420><c> human</c><00:28:40.640><c> being</c><00:28:41.119><c> as</c><00:28:41.640><c> a</c>

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.200
The<00:28:43.039><c> law</c><00:28:43.299><c> of</c><00:28:43.500><c> the</c><00:28:43.680><c> burnt</c><00:28:43.900><c> offering</c><00:28:44.200><c> is</c><00:28:44.500><c> quite</c><00:28:44.700><c> explicit.</c>

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:50.160
You<00:28:45.859><c> must</c><00:28:46.180><c> offer</c><00:28:46.559><c> a</c><00:28:46.900><c> bullock,</c><00:28:47.940><c> a</c><00:28:48.099><c> he</c><00:28:48.279><c>-goat,</c><00:28:49.000><c> or</c><00:28:49.259><c> a</c><00:28:49.420><c> ram.</c>

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:54.440
So<00:28:51.980><c> you</c><00:28:52.619><c> look</c><00:28:52.799><c> down</c><00:28:53.019><c> these</c><00:28:53.279><c> arguments,</c>

00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.559
