粗粗學習了一下人類human sacrifice的曆史

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice

太多的民族有這傳統。也提到中國，不過中國是為死人（不一定是皇帝）做殉葬，還有生殉的（挖出來很多古墓)，可不是為神哦。

本來不知道苗哥提到的這段故事是很有名的，也是聖經中除亞伯拉罕外唯一人祭的故事。後來的猶太人也不喜歡燒人故事，所以rabbi的解釋說其實沒燒，而是她以後不能結婚，是consecration， 不是sacrifice，嗬嗬。

Another possible instance of human sacrifice mentioned in the Bible is the sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter in Judges 11. Jephthah vows to sacrifice to God whatsoever comes to greet him at the door when he returns home if he is victorious. The vow is stated in Judges 11:31 as "Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer Him a burnt offering." When he returns from battle, his virgin daughter runs out to greet him. She begs for, and is granted, "two months to roam the hills and weep with my friends", after which "he [Jephthah] did to her as he had vowed." According to some commentators of the rabbinic Jewish tradition, Jepthah's daughter was not sacrificed, but was forbidden to marry and remained a spinster her entire life, fulfilling the vow that she would be devoted to the Lord.

聖經別處也明說了不能做這樣的事。

The Bible elsewhere condemns child sacrifice. Deut 18:10 explicitly states "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire". Jer 7:31 states that sacrificing a child by fire, even to Him, had never been commanded nor entered God's mind.

• 不光是集體創作，還是曆史產物。現在覺得落後野蠻的觀念在當時可能很先進。 -沙丁- ♂ (0 bytes) () 12/27/2014 postreply 12:42:29
