Judges 19:23 in Context — Judges 19

21 Il les fit entrer dans sa maison, et il donna du fourrage aux ânes. Les voyageurs se lavèrent les pieds; puis ils mangèrent et burent.

22 Pendant qu’ils étaient à se réjouir, voici, les hommes de la ville, gens pervers, entourèrent la maison, frappèrent à la porte, et dirent au vieillard, maître de la maison: Fais sortir l’homme qui est entré chez toi, pour que nous le connaissions.

23 Le maître de la maison, se présentant à eux, leur dit: Non, mes frères, ne faites pas le mal, je vous prie; puisque cet homme est entré dans ma maison, ne commettez pas cette infamie.

24 Voici, j’ai une fille vierge, et cet homme a une concubine; je vous les amènerai dehors; vous les déshonorerez, et vous leur ferez ce qu’il vous plaira. Mais ne commettez pas sur cet homme une action aussi infâme.

25 Ces gens ne voulurent point l’écouter. Alors l’homme prit sa concubine, et la leur amena dehors. Ils la connurent, et ils abusèrent d’elle toute la nuit jusqu’au matin; puis ils la renvoyèrent au lever de l’aurore.
