    6So they sat down and ate and drank together. Then the woman’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay overnight, and let your heart be content.”

    7The man got up to leave, but his father-in-law urged him, so he stayed there another night.

    21He brought him into his house and provided fodder for the donkeys. They washed their feet, ate, and drank.

    22While they were enjoying themselves, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house. 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."

    23The 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.

    24Look, 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.
