Clarke's Commentary on the BibleNow Jephthah - was the son of a harlot - I think the word זונה zonah, which we here render harlot, should be translated, as is contended for on Joshua 2:1 (note), viz. a hostess, keeper of an inn or tavern for the accommodation of travelers; and thus it is understood by the Targum of Jonathan on this place: והוא בר אתתא פונדקיתא vehu bar ittetha pundekitha, "and he was the son of a woman, a tavern keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, Judges 11:2, a strange woman, אשה אחרת ishshah achereth, a woman of another race; and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as he could not have a full right to the inheritance, his mother not being an Israelite.

Heb. a woman an harlot. Probably zonah should be rendered as in Joshua 2:1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went... , a hostess, or inn-keeper; so Targum of Jonathan, and he was the son of a woman, a tavern-keeper. She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, ver.2, a strange woman, a woman of another race; and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
