Verses 31,34

Judges 11:31,34XWaiting for response

While it reads Jephthah sacrificed his daughter, he wouldn’t have done that as that was a terrible sin specified in the law of Moses, whereas to break a vow was only to pay a fee. Another piece of evidence is that he is mentioned in Hebrews 11 as one of the faithful so he wouldn’t have sinned in this way. It may be that he gave her to the service of the Lord, and so she could have no children.
