I had a stroke. I am "retired".
A small correction in the video: Jephthah's daughter wasn't "bewailing the loss of her virginity" but bewailing the loss of the potential to have children and continue Jephthah's line (so... bewailing the loss of the potential FOR the loss of her virginity??)... at least according to SOME interpretations of the story.
Personally I still think Jephthah actually sacrificing his daughter seems to be the more believable "interpretation" of the story based on what some (some) Jewish scholars seem to say (and some Christians). It seems to be more about "beware foolish vows". Jephthah didn't really know the "ins and outs" of sacrificial laws.
UPDATE: 3/21/26
"Shibboleth" means "ear of corn" or "waterfall".
Jephthah is voiced by John Smith's brother.
