粗粗学习了一下人类human sacrifice的历史

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice

太多的民族有这传统。也提到中国，不过中国是为死人（不一定是皇帝）做殉葬，还有生殉的（挖出来很多古墓)，可不是为神哦。

本来不知道苗哥提到的这段故事是很有名的，也是圣经中除亚伯拉罕外唯一人祭的故事。后来的犹太人也不喜欢烧人故事，所以rabbi的解释说其实没烧，而是她以后不能结婚，是consecration， 不是sacrifice，呵呵。

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.

圣经别处也明说了不能做这样的事。

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.
