| Summary: | The story of “Jephthach’s daughter as a custom in Israel” on the one hand and the story of “The Daughters of Shiloh celebrating a feast of the Lord” on the other hand, both have a lot of phraseological connections: 1. Both texts are related to Miz- pah, where one of the two sanctuaries of Northern Israel (Mizpah and Shiloh) is located. 2. Both stories deal with young unmarried women, who celebrate a feast without men. 3. The verb יצא is also used in both stories: first in Jephthach’s oath to designate the person, who comes out of his house. Then his daughter uses the word to refer the outgoing oath of her father’s mouth. At last also the daughters of Shiloh leave town for their celebration. 4. In both texts the phrase of time מימים ימימה can be found. It is used to tell that the feasts take place every year. 5. The daughters of Israel, who commemorate Jephthach’s child and the daughters of Shiloh celebrate the feasts outside of their cities. 6. The daughters of Israel commemorate of Jephthach’s daughter who died as a burnt-offering and the daughters of Shiloh celebrate a feast of the Lord, but the reason for the celebration isn’t said. 7. Both stories deals with young un- married women who act and celebrate on their own. They are subjects of their rituals. Finally it could be said, that the commemoration of the sacrifice of Jephthach’s daughter is the starting point for the celebration of a feast of the Lord in Shiloh. Abschließend ist festzuhalten, dass es aufgrund der vielen textlichen und inhaltlichen Querverbindungen, die von kultischen Handlungen durch Frauen berichten, durchaus vorstellbar ist, dass der durch einen JHWH-Eid veranlasste Opfertod von Jiftachs’ Tochter, die zum Brauch in Israel und jährlich von den Töchtern Israels besungen wurde, sich zur Vorlage für ein JHWH-Fest in Schilo entwickeln konnte. – Dabei wäre noch abzuklären, wie weit oder eng man Kult, also Formen religiöser Verehrung, und die darin handelnden Subjekte definiert. |
