Meaning:*
This name derives from the Hebrew “Yiphtâch / Yifthaḥ,” meaning “he opens.” Jephthah appears in the Book of Judges as a judge over Israel for six years (Judges 12:7). He lived in Gilead and was a member of either the tribe of Manasseh or the tribe of Gad. Jephthah led the Israelites in the battle against Ammon and, after defeating the Ammonites, fulfilled a rash vow of his by sacrificing his daughter. Traditionally, Jephthah is listed among significant judges on the ground of the biblical narrative’s length referring to him. Still, his story also shows signs of minor judges, for instance, only six years duration of his office as judge.
