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. 26 Then the woman came in the dawning of the day and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light. 27 Her 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.
