The Levite divides his concubine into twelve pieces and sends her throughout all the borders of Israel
레위 사람이 첩의 시체를 열 두덩이에 나누어 이스라엘 사방에 보냄
Judges 19:27–30: the woman’s lord rises up in the morning and opens the doors of the house, and goes out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine has fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He says to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answers. Then he takes her up on the donkey; and the man rises up, and goes to his place. When he has come into his house, he takes a knife and cuts up his concubine, and divides her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sends her throughout all the borders of Israel. All who see it say, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.” The Korean Revised Version calls her 그 시체, the dead body, at 19:28, and 첩의 시체, the concubine’s dead body, at 19:29.
