    23And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brothers, no, I beg you, do not act so wickedly, seeing this man has come into my house; do not do this disgraceful thing.

    24Behold, here is my daughter, a maiden, and his concubine; I will bring them out now, abuse them, and do to them what seems good to you; but do not do such a vile thing to this man."

    25But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them; and they knew her and abused her all night until morning, and when the day began to dawn, they let her go.

    27Her lord rose up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, the woman, his concubine, was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

    28He said to her, "Get up, let us be going." But there was no answer. Then he put her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his place.
