Everything is not relative. That perspective can affect accuracy of understanding is genuinely an important consideration; but still, there are still some things and some stories that are true - and some that are not. This week's Haftarah gives a stunning example of an anti-factual "narrative" being used to justify stealing Israel's land; and the careful historicity of the Israelite Judge Yiftakh's fact-recitative reply – and then his deeds of resistance against the acts the false story generated. This is an important passage for people Yeshua the Messiah described as His crew: "those who are 'of the truth.'" (John 19:37)
