They pounded on the door and said to the old man, the owner of the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house, so we can have relations with him." 23 The owner of the house went out to them and said, "No, my brothers, do not commit such an evil act. Since this man has come into my house, do not do this disgraceful act. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Let me bring them out to you now, and you may abuse them and do to them whatever you think best. But do not commit this disgraceful act against this man. 25 But the men refused to listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her outside to them. They raped her and abused her throughout the night until morning, and at dawn, they let her go. 26 At daybreak, the woman came and fell at the doorway of the man's house where her master was staying, and she lay there until it was light. 27 Her master got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went out to continue on his way. There was the woman, his concubine, lying at the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold.
