New Testament

Judges 19:24-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

24. Here are my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine. Let me bring them out to you. Ravish them and do to them what you please. But do not commit this vile act against this man.”

25. The men were unwilling to listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them in the street. They knew her and abused her all night until morning. As the dawn began to break, they let her go.

26. The woman came back at daybreak and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her master was, lying there until it was light.

27. Her master got up in the morning and opened the doors of the house. He went out to go on his way, but there was the woman, his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.

28. He said to her, “Get up, let us be going,” but there was no answer. So the man put her on a donkey and went home.
