This is a good (but very long 🙂) read. The Church Tradition has long supported the literal interpretation of this event. Saint John Chrysostom commented that Jephthah "fell into the snare of child-murder; … for his daughter first meeting him, he sacrificed her and God did not forbid it." Then he adds that God’s later "not forbidding" is not approval but providential restraint: God “put a stop” to further similar vows by allowing this one to be fulfilled—yet Chrysostom also insists that this was not according to God’s delight: "they should make all men wiser for the future; and that they might learn that it was not after the mind of God … for in that case He would not have permitted [the sacrifice]".
