It is disgusting how low women where treated in those days. To think one would offer his own virgin daughter, his own flesh and blood, instead of a stranger is horrifying. And then to murder and wipe out another city within your tribe just because they did not participate. Imagine how much innocent people in the ancient world died horrible deaths because of questionable morals of those days. Not just in Israel, but in the wider world of those days. Imagine the Israelites to be the decent ones, because they had the commandments. Other tribes, and eventualy the Israelites from time to time, burned their children alive as an offer to the devil.
May your journey of faith be filled with love and grace from God.
