How do we know that God does not condone human sacrifice?

The Bible clearly condemns human sacrifice as an abomination to God. Passages such as Leviticus 18:21 and Deuteronomy 18:10 explicitly forbid allowing children to pass through fire to Molech, a practice associated with human sacrifices. Jeremiah 19:5 reinforces this by indicating that such offerings were commands God had not spoken or considered. This consistent biblical teaching shows that God does not accept human sacrifice, illustrated in the story of Jephthah where God's silence reflects disapproval. Hence, the narrative surrounding Jephthah serves as a profound reminder of the seriousness with which God regards human life and vows.
