It was not a sacrifice in the sense that she was offered up as a burnt offering; but that she would live her life in service at the temple. She would never marry and bear children, which was what was the primary life for an Israelite woman.
Persons could be devoted to Jehovah's exclusive service in connection with the sanctuary. It was a right that parents could exercise. Samuel was one such person, promised to tabernacle service by a vow of his mother Hannah before his birth. This vow was approved by her husband Elkanah. As soon as Samuel was weaned, Hannah offered him at the sanctuary. Along with him, Hannah brought an animal sacrifice.
JEPHTHAH'S VOW
When Jephthah earlier had returned victoriously from battle with the sons of Ammon to his home in Mizpah, who should be the first to meet him from his own house but his daughter, "with tambourine playing and dancing!" She was absolutely his only child, we are told. When her father caught sight of her he exclaimed: "Alas, my daughter! You have indeed made me bend down . . . I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I am unable to turn back."-Judg. 11:34, 35.
Dutifully, his daughter replied: "My father, if you have opened your mouth to Jehovah, do to me according to what has gone forth from your mouth, since Jehovah has executed acts of vengeance for you upon your enemies." How much like her father she was! All she asked was a two-month period to mourn her virginity on the mountains with her girl companions, which he granted her and after which Jephthah carried out his vow regarding her.-Judg. 11:36-39.
