The wicked men of the city surround the old man’s house, and the Levite brings his concubine out to them
그 성읍의 비류들이 노인의 집을 에워싸매 레위 사람이 자기 첩을 무리에게로 붙들어냄
Judges 19:22–26: as they are making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, surround the house, beating at the door; and they speak to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, that we can have sex with him!” The man, the master of the house, goes out to them, and says to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly. Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don’t do any such folly.” But the men won’t listen to him; so the man grabs his concubine, and brings her out to them; and they have sex with her, and abuse her all night until the morning. When the day begins to dawn, they let her go. Then the woman comes in the dawning of the day, and falls down at the door of the man’s house where her lord is, until it is light.
