Judges 19:24-26
New English Translation

24 Here are my virgin daughter and my guest’s[a] concubine. I will send them out and you can abuse them and do to them whatever you like.[b] But don’t do such a disgraceful thing to this man!” 25 The men refused to listen to him, so the Levite[c] grabbed his concubine and made her go outside.[d] They raped[e] her and abused her all night long until morning. They let her go at dawn. 26 The woman arrived back at daybreak and was sprawled out on the doorstep of the house where her master[f] was staying until it became light.[g]
