13because we are about to destroy it. The outcry against this place is so great before the LORD that he has sent us to destroy it.”

8Look, I have two daughters who have never been intimate with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you please. Only don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
