Seeker Overlay ON
*
As they were making their hearts merry ,
behold ,
the men of the city ,
base fellows ,
beset the house round about ,
beating on the door ;
and they said to the old man ,
the master of the house , "
Bring out the man who came into your house ,
that we may know him ."
*
And the man ,
the master of the house ,
went out to them and said to them , "
No ,
my brethren ,
do not act so wickedly ;
seeing that this man has come into my house ,
do not do this vile thing .
*
Behold ,
here are my virgin daughter and his concubine ;
let me bring them out now .
Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you ;
but against this man do not do so vile a thing ."
*
But the men would not listen to him .
So the man seized his concubine ,
and put her out to them ;
and they knew her ,
and abused her all night until the morning .
And as the dawn began to break ,
they let her go .
