Judges 19:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Let me send out my daughter instead. She's a virgin. And I'll even send out the man's wife.^[a] You can rape them or do whatever else you want, but please don't do such a horrible thing to this man.”

²⁵ The men refused to listen, so the Levite grabbed his wife and shoved her outside. The men raped her and abused her all night long. Finally, they let her go just before sunrise, ²⁶ and it was almost daybreak when she went back to the house where her husband^[b] was staying. She collapsed at the door and lay there until sunrise.
