Project Gutenberg 2008-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 46 Nervander, Johan Jacob 1805 1848 Nervander, J. J. Nervander, Johan Jakob Jephthas bok En Minnes-Sång i Israël Produced by Matti Järvinen and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Jephthas bok" by Johan Jacob Nervander is a lyrical poem written in the early 19th century. This book intertwines poetic reflection with biblical narratives, focusing on the plight and sacrifices of women in ancient Israel, particularly through the lens of the character Jephthah and his daughter. It is a poignant exploration of themes such as fate, grief, and the complexities of faith. The narrative follows Jephthah, a judge of Israel, who vows to sacrifice the first thing that greets him upon his victorious return home. Tragically, he is met by his beloved daughter, resulting in a heart-wrenching sacrifice that echoes throughout the text. The women of Israel gather to mourn Jephthah's daughter, lamenting not only her fate but the broader struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. Through vivid imagery and emotional depth, Nervander illustrates the cyclical nature of suffering and the search for meaning within it, ultimately exploring the intersection of personal sacrifice and communal identity against the backdrop of biblical history.
