Jepthah was the son of a harlot, (זָנָה, Judges 11:1 Hebrew Interlinear). B.) Although it is plausible that Abraham observed "Lipit-Ishtar" it becomes probable if and only if you were to provide other clear references that Abraham actually observed this "code". C.)

Dec 13, 2016 at 18:33 comment added James Shewey Hello Yochanan, this is an excellent answer, but it did not follow our formatting recommendations. For example, it wasn't clear where the Hepner quote ended, and I had to look that up. I have edited it to clarify and used our formatting recommendations and I hope this will provide a helpful example of what we hope to see in answers going forward. You can look at the exact markdown I used here. Thanks for this answer!
