Abstract: 

Pseudo-Philo invokes the so-called Aqedah of Genesis 22 three times--in God's response to Balaam, in the hymn of Deborah, and in the speech of Jephthah's daughter. This accords with Pseudo-Philo's pattern of omitting stories from their proper chronological location and intruding them at a later point in his narrative.
