You may have heard the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac. Just before the knife comes down, a ram appears, and an angel stops Abraham from killing his son.

There’s a parallel story in the Book of Judges, except it’s a daughter instead of a son. And no angel magically appears to stop the knife.

We don’t even know this character’s name. The book of Judges refers to her only as daughter. Mountain /  When My Father Came Back tells the story of the father Yiftach who as accidentally vowed to sacrifice his first daughter.
