Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
(7) "The daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite"  (Judges 11:40).  Where did those daughters of Israel go?  To the tabernacle, of course.  Why?  That is where Jephthah's daughter was.  If she had become a burnt-offering, the yearly celebration would not have involved any "going" at all.
