Could you please point me toward a resource I can use to learn about the sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter?

Thank you.
“And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man (that is, she became a Vestal of the temple). As it was a custom in Israel.” – Judges 11: 39



Shabbath-שבת ,שבאת: the "את-Ath,' בת-bath, daughter of the Shin-ש fire,

The fact of this subject matter is that a burnt offering has for its object the union of the male איש with the female אשה principles of אש fire, between (priest and priestess) in the Shabbath-שבת, meaning, the בת-bath, daughter of the Shin-ש fire, and though the word עליתהו עולה is translated as 'burn offering' yet, according to alchemy, it has an esoteric meaning, it means אליהו עולה (the God IAO is rising).

As the Zohar states:
“It was necessary for Noah (as in the case of יפתח Jephthah) to offer up a burnt offering as he represented the male principle which the Holy One joined and united with the ark, a symbol of the female.

The offering Noah (as in the case of יפתח Jephthah) made was therefore a symbol of this union of these two principles of fire, and this is the reason why the burnt offering (עלה olah) is called asheh (אשה female fire). Scripture further states, 'And the Lord smelled a sweet savor,' and (אשה asheh) is also called so.

Respecting this ' אשה asheh' we have been taught that the smoke and flame are so united and conjoined that the one is never without the other; as it is written, 'and Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire' (Exodus 19: 18). Observe that fire, being an element of rare subtlety, is in itself invisible like heat to the naked eye and continues so until, its vibrations becoming increased and intensified, it comes forth from the body or substance in which it lies concealed and then manifests itself. When this occurs, its existence is only detected and recognized by smoke proceeding from the body in which it lies latent, as breath exhaled from the nostrils is indicative of the fire latent in the body; and so scripture states, 'They shall put incense in thy nostrils' (Deuteronomy 33: 10), because fire returns to its place of origin and the nostrils sensing its odor give rise to thoughts, feelings and desires, becoming, as it is written, 'A sweet savor, ' ניחֹח nihoah,' a something that allays passion, calms anger and restores peace; and when the fire and smoke are unified, joy becomes universal, the fire appears with greater brilliancy, and God smells the את־ריח הניחֹח 'sweet savor' of ‘Ath’ as though he breathed in and absorbed all into himself.” - Zohar
