Why did the Bible terror "God" accept burnt human offerings while commanding the "utter destruction" of other nations who did likewise?

Update:

Update for the ignorant: Jephthah offered up his daughter as a burnt offering to JHWH. Moeses also sacrificed 32 HUMANS in to "The Lord" in Numbers 31:25-41.

    Unfortunately, that's what ancient Near-Eastern deities did. Since God was playing that role to Israel, he allowed it also.

    That's how ancient superstition works.

    When you lie about God, it makes you look foolish.

    It shows the depth of your depravity. And says nothing about God

    Jeptha made that decision himself

    It had nothing to do with God.
