24 Behold, my daughter the virgin and his concubine, let me bring them out now, and you? may humble them and do with them what is good in your? eyes; and to this man do not this vile thing.”

25 And the men would not listen to him. And the man took his concubine and brought her out to them outside. And they knew her and abused her all the night until the morning, and sent her away at the rising of the dawn.

26 And the woman came as was dawning the day, and she fell down at the door of the house of the man where her master was, until the light.

27 And her master arose in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, and there was the woman, his concubine, fallen at the door of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.

28 And he said to her, “Get up, and let us be going.” And there was no answer. And the man lifted her onto the donkey, and the man got up and went to his place.

29 And he entered into his house, and he took a knife and laid hold of his concubine, and divided her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and he sent her into all the territory of Israel.

30 And so it was that all who saw it said, “Nothing has been done nor seen as this from the day that came up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt until this day. Set you? upon it, take counsel, and speak.”
