Was Jephthah a moral man? This is the question I have been asked and I must determine whether or not Jephthah was a moral man. In order to answer this question there must be an understanding of what a moral act is. A moral act is when someone uses critical thinking and actions to proceed to the next course of action. There are four components to help decide if an act is moral. Moral Sensitivity is one of the crucial elements when determining a moral act. What it simply means; is being able to recognize a situation and clearly understand what moral dimension I am faced with.

Jephthah decided to do what the elders asked him to do but at a cost to him. This is where the question of morality starts to come in to question. What price is to great a price to pay for being moral or immoral? I truly do not believe Jephthah was thinking about this when he as the Lord to deliver all the people he asked to be delivered to him and then promised the Lord he would kill them all. Jephthah could not have known that he had a daughter in those lands that he wanted to destroy. If he had known that I feel like he would not have traveled the path he did. So, where is the moral sensitivity in his action? Jephthah clearly recognized the fact that he had a
