Judges 19:22-25
22While they were 1celebratingH3190H3820, beholdH2009, 2the menH376 of the cityH5892, certainH376 34worthlessH1100 fellowsH1121, surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, poundingH1849 the doorH1817; and they spokeH559 to the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, “BringH3318 out the manH376 whoH834 cameH935 into your houseH1004 that we may haveH3045 5relationsH3045 with him.”
23Then the manH376, the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004, wentH3318 out to them and saidH559 to them, “NoH408, my fellowsH251, pleaseH4994 do not actH7489 so wickedlyH7489; sinceH310H834 thisH2088 manH376 has comeH935 into my houseH1004, 6do not commitH6213 thisH2088 actH5039 of follyH5039.
247HereH2009 is my virginH1330 daughterH1323 and his concubineH6370. PleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them out that you may ravishH6031 them and doH6213 to them 8whatever you wishH2896H5869. But do not commitH6213 suchH2088 an actH1697 of follyH5039 against thisH2088 manH376.”
25But the menH376 wouldH14 not listenH8085 to him. So the manH376 seizedH2388 his concubineH6370 and broughtH3318 her out to them; and they rapedH3045 her and abusedH5953 her allH3605 nightH3915 untilH5704 morningH1242, then letH7971 her goH7971 at the approachH5927 of dawnH7837.
