H3117
It happened in those days,
H4428
when there was no king
H3478
in Israel,
H376
that there was a certain
H3881
Levite
H1481
living
H3411
on the farther side
H2022
of the hill
H669
country of Ephraim,
H3947
who took
H802
to him a concubine
H1035
out of Bethlehem Judah.
2
H6370
His concubine
H2181
played the prostitute
H3212
against him, and went away
H1
from him to her father's
H1004
house
H1035
to Bethlehem Judah,
H702
and was there the space of four
H2320
months.
3
H376
Her husband
H6965
arose,
H3212
and went
H310
after
H1696
her, to speak
H3820
kindly
H7725
to her, to bring her again,
H5288
having his servant
H6776
with him, and a couple
H2543
of donkeys:
H935
and she brought
H1
him into her father's
H1004
house;
H1
and when the father
H5291
of the young lady
H7200
saw
H8055
him, he rejoiced
H7125
to meet him.
4
H2859
His father-in-law,
H5291
the young lady's
H1
father,
H2388
retained
H3427
him; and he stayed
H7969
with him three
H3117
days:
H398
so they ate
H8354
and drink,
H3885
and lodged there.
5
H7243
It happened on the fourth
H3117
day,
H7925
that they arose early
H1242
in the morning,
H6965
and he rose up
H3212
to depart:
H5291
and the young lady's
H1
father
H559
said
H2860
to his son-in-law,
H5582
"Strengthen
H3820
your heart
H6595
with a morsel
H3899
of bread,
H310
and afterward
H3212
you shall go your way."
6
H3427
So they sat down,
H398
ate,
H8354
and drank,
H8147
both
H3162
of them together:
H5291
and the young lady's
H1
father
H559
said
H376
to the man,
H2974
"Please be pleased
H3885
to stay all night,
H3820
and let your heart
H3190
be merry."
7
H376
The man
H6965
rose up
H3212
to depart;
H2859
but his father-in-law
H6484
urged
H3885
him, and he lodged
H7725
there again.
8
H7925
He arose early
H1242
in the morning
H2549
on the fifth
H3117
day
H3212
to depart;
H5291
and the young lady's
H1
father
H559
said,
H5582
"Please strengthen
H3824
your heart
H4102
and stay
H3117
until the day declines;"
H8147
and they both
H398
ate.
9
H376
When the man
H6965
rose up
H3212
to depart,
H6370
he, and his concubine,
H5288
and his servant,
H2859
his father-in-law,
H5291
the young lady's
H1
father,
H559
said
H3117
to him, "Behold, now the day
H7503
draws
H6150
toward evening,
H3885
please stay all night:
H3117
behold, the day
H2583
grows to an end,
H3885
lodge
H3824
here, that your heart
H3190
may be merry;
H4279
and tomorrow
H1870
go on your way
H7925
early,
H1980
that you may go
H168
home."
10
H376
But the man
H14
wouldn't
H3885
stay that night,
H6965
but he rose up
H3212
and departed,
H935
and came
H5227
over against
H2982
Jebus
H3389
(the same is Jerusalem):
H6776
and there were with him a couple
H2543
of donkeys
H2280
saddled;
H6370
his concubine also was with him.
11
H2982
When they were by Jebus,
H3117
the day
H3966
was far
H7286
spent;
H5288
and the servant
H559
said
H113
to his master,
H3212
"Please come
H5493
and let us turn aside
H5892
into this city
H2983
of the Jebusites,
H3885
and lodge in it."
12
H113
His master
H559
said
H5493
to him, "We won't turn aside
H5892
into the city
H5237
of a foreigner,
H1121
that is not of the children
H3478
of Israel;
H5674
but we will pass over
H1390
to Gibeah."
13
H559
He said
H5288
to his servant,
H3212
"Come
H7126
and let us draw near
H259
to one
H4725
of these places;
H3885
and we will lodge
H1390
in Gibeah,
H7414
or in Ramah."
14
H5674
So they passed on
H3212
and went their way;
H8121
and the sun
H935
went down
H681
on them near
H1390
to Gibeah,
H1144
which belongs to Benjamin.
15
H5493
They turned aside
H935
there, to go in
H3885
to lodge
H1390
in Gibeah:
H935
and he went in,
H3427
and sat him down
H7339
in the street
H5892
of the city;
H376
for there was no man
H622
who took
H1004
them into his house
H3885
to lodge.
16
H935
Behold, there came
H2205
an old
H376
man
H4639
from his work
H7704
out of the field
H6153
at evening:
H376
now the man was
H2022
of the hill
H669
country of Ephraim,
H1481
and he lived
H1390
in Gibeah;
H582
but the men
H4725
of the place
H1145
were Benjamites.
17
H5375
He lifted up
H5869
his eyes,
H7200
and saw
H732
the wayfaring
H376
man
H7339
in the street
H5892
of the city;
H2205
and the old
H376
man
H559
said,
H3212
"Where are you going?
H370
Where
H935
did you come from?"
18
H559
He said
H5674
to him, "We are passing
H1035
from Bethlehem Judah
H3411
to the farther side
H2022
of the hill
H669
country of Ephraim.
H3212
I am from there, and I went
H1035
to Bethlehem Judah.
H1980
I am going
H1004
to the house
H3068
of Yahweh;
H376
and there is no man
H622
who takes
H1004
me into his house.
19
H3426
Yet there is
H8401
both straw
H4554
and provender
H2543
for our donkeys;
H3899
and there is bread
H3196
and wine
H519
also for me, and for your handmaid,
H5288
and for the young man
H5650
who is with your servants:
H4270
there is no want
H1697
of anything."
20
H2205
The old
H376
man
H559
said,
H7965
"Peace
H7535
be to you; howsoever
H4270
let all your wants
H3885
lie on me; only don't lodge
H7339
in the street."
21
H935
So he brought
H1004
him into his house,
H2543
and gave the donkeys
H1101
fodder;
H7364
and they washed
H7272
their feet,
H398
and ate
H8354
and drink.
22
H3820
As they were making their hearts
H3190
merry,
H582
behold, the men
H5892
of the city,
H582
certain
H1100
base
H582
fellows,
H5437
surrounded
H5437
the
H1004
house,
H1849
beating
H1817
at the door;
H559
and they spoke
H1167
to the master
H1004
of the house,
H2205
the old
H376
man,
H559
saying,
H3318
"Bring out
H376
the man
H935
who came
H1004
into your house,
H3045
that we may have sex with him!"
23
H376
The man,
H1167
the master
H1004
of the house,
H3318
went out
H559
to them, and said
H408
to them, "No,
H251
my brothers,
H7489
please don't act so wickedly;
H310
since
H376
this man
H935
has come
H1004
into my house,
H6213
don't do
H5039
this folly.
24
H1330
Behold, here is my virgin
H1323
daughter
H6370
and his concubine.
H3318
I will bring them out
H6031
now. Humble
H6213
them, and do
H5869
with them what seems
H2896
good
H376
to you; but to this man
H6213
don't do
H2063
any
H1697
such
H5039
folly."
25
H582
But the men
H14
wouldn't
H8085
listen
H376
to him: so the man
H2388
laid
H6370
hold of his concubine,
H3318
and brought
H2351
her out
H3045
to them; and they had sex
H5953
with her, and abused
H3915
her all night
H1242
until the morning:
H7837
and when the day
H5927
began to dawn,
H7971
they let her go.
26
H935
Then came
H802
the woman
H6437
in the dawning
H1242
of the day,
H5307
and fell down
H6607
at the door
H376
of the man's
H1004
house
H113
where her lord
H216
was, until it was light.
27
H113
Her lord
H6965
rose up
H1242
in the morning,
H6605
and opened
H1817
the doors
H1004
of the house,
H3318
and went out
H3212
to go
H1870
his way;
H802
and behold, the woman
H6370
his concubine
H5307
was fallen down
H6607
at the door
H1004
of the house,
H3027
with her hands
H5592
on the threshold.
28
H559
He said
H6965
to her, "Get up,
H3212
and let us be going!"
H376
but no one
H6030
answered.
H376
Then he
H3947
took
H2543
her up on the donkey;
H376
and the man
H6965
rose up,
H4725
and went to his place.
