21. So he took them home with him and fed their donkeys. His guests washed their feet and had a meal.
22. They were enjoying themselves when all of a sudden some sexual perverts from the town surrounded the house and started beating on the door. They said to the old man, “Bring out that man that came home with you! We want to have sex with him!”
23. But the old man went outside and said to them, “No, my friends! Please! Don't do such an evil, immoral thing! This man is my guest.
24. Look! Here is his concubine and my own daughter, who is a virgin. I'll bring them out now, and you can have them. Do with them whatever you want. But don't do such an awful thing to this man!”
25. But the men would not listen to him. So the Levite took his concubine and put her outside with them. They raped her and abused her all night long and didn't stop until morning.
26. At dawn the woman came and fell down at the door of the old man's house, where her husband was. She was still there when daylight came.
27. Her husband got up that morning, and when he opened the door to go on his way, he found his concubine lying in front of the house with her hands reaching for the door.
