Now Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

was a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

and he [was] the son
<01121>

of an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_:

and Gilead
<01568>

begat
<03205> (8686)

Jephthah
<03316>_.

{Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}

Judges 11:1-40

11:1

Now Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

was a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

and he [was] the son
<01121>

of an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_:

and Gilead
<01568>

begat
<03205> (8686)

Jephthah
<03316>_.

{Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}

11:2

And Gilead's
<01568>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8799)

him sons
<01121>_;

and his wife's
<0802>

sons
<01121>

grew up
<01431> (8799)_,

and they thrust out
<01644> (8762)

Jephthah
<03316>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not inherit
<05157> (8799)

in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

for thou [art] the son
<01121>

of a strange
<0312>

woman
<0802>_.

11:3

Then Jephthah
<03316>

fled
<01272> (8799)

from
<06440>

his brethren
<0251>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Tob
<02897>_:

and there were gathered
<03950> (8691)

vain
<07386>

men
<0582>

to Jephthah
<03316>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

with him. {from: Heb. from the face [of]}

11:4

And it came to pass in process of time
<03117>_,

that the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

{in process...: Heb. after days}

11:5

And it was so, that when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8738)

against Israel
<03478>_,

the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

went
<03212> (8799)

to fetch
<03947> (8800)

Jephthah
<03316>

out of the land
<0776>

of Tob
<02897>_:

11:6

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and be our captain
<07101>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

with the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:7

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

Did not ye hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and expel
<01644> (8762)

me out of my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

and why are ye come
<0935> (8804)

unto me now when ye are in distress
<06887> (8804)_?

11:8

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Therefore we turn again
<07725> (8804)

to thee now, that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

with us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and be our head
<07218>

over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gilead
<01568>_.

11:9

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

If ye bring me home again
<07725> (8688)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

deliver
<05414> (8804)

them before
<06440>

me, shall I be your head
<07218>_?

11:10

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

The LORD
<03068>

be witness
<08085> (8802)

between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)

not so according to thy words
<01697>_.

{witness...: Heb. the hearer between us}

11:11

Then Jephthah
<03316>

went
<03212> (8799)

with the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and the people
<05971>

made
<07760> (8799)

him head
<07218>

and captain
<07101>

over them: and Jephthah
<03316>

uttered
<01696> (8762)

all his words
<01697>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Mizpeh
<04709>_.

11:12

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
<0935> (8804)

against me to fight
<03898> (8736)

in my land
<0776>_?

11:13

And the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

answered
<0559> (8799)

unto the messengers
<04397>

of Jephthah
<03316>_,

Because Israel
<03478>

took away
<03947> (8804)

my land
<0776>_,

when they came up
<05927> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and unto Jordan
<03383>_:

now therefore restore those [lands] again
<07725> (8685)

peaceably
<07965>_.

11:14

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

again
<03254> (8686)

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:15

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Jephthah
<03316>_,

Israel
<03478>

took not away
<03947> (8804)

the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

nor the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:16

But when Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8800)

from Egypt
<04714>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>

unto the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Kadesh
<06946>_;

11:17

Then Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me, I pray thee, pass through
<05674> (8799)

thy land
<0776>_:

but the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

[thereto]. And in like manner they sent
<07971> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not [consent]: and Israel
<03478>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Kadesh
<06946>_.

11:18

Then they went along
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>_,

and compassed
<05437> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

by the east side
<04217> <08121>

of the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the other side
<05676>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

but came
<0935> (8804)

not within the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_:

for Arnon
<0769>

[was] the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_.

11:19

And Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_;

and Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let us pass
<05674> (8799)_,

we pray thee, through thy land
<0776>

into
<05704>

my place
<04725>_.

11:20

But Sihon
<05511>

trusted
<0539> (8689)

not Israel
<03478>

to pass
<05674> (8800)

through his coast
<01366>_:

but Sihon
<05511>

gathered
<0622> (0)

all his people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Jahaz
<03096>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

11:21

And the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

Sihon
<05511>

and all his people
<05971>

into the hand
<03027>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them: so Israel
<03478>

possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the land
<0776>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of that country
<0776>_.

11:22

And they possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the coasts
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and from the wilderness
<04057>

even unto Jordan
<03383>_.

11:23

So now the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath dispossessed
<03423> (8689)

the Amorites
<0567>

from before
<06440>

his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and shouldest thou possess
<03423> (8799)

it?

11:24

Wilt not thou possess
<03423> (8799)

that which Chemosh
<03645>

thy god
<0430>

giveth thee to possess
<03423> (8686)_?

So whomsoever the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

shall drive out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

us, them will we possess
<03423> (8799)_.

11:25

And now [art] thou any thing better
<02896>

than Balak
<01111>

the son
<01121>

of Zippor
<06834>_,

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_?

did he ever
<07378> (8800)

strive
<07378> (8804)

against Israel
<03478>_,

or did he ever
<03898> (8736)

fight
<03898> (8738)

against them,

11:26

While Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8800)

in Heshbon
<02809>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in Aroer
<06177>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in all the cities
<05892>

that [be] along by the coasts
<03027>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_?

why therefore did ye not recover
<05337> (8689)

[them] within that time
<06256>_?

11:27

Wherefore I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, but thou doest
<06213> (8802) <0853>

me wrong
<07451>

to war
<03898> (8736)

against me: the LORD
<03068>

the Judge
<08199> (8802)

be judge
<08199> (8799)

this day
<03117>

between the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:28

Howbeit the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Jephthah
<03316>

which he sent
<07971> (8804)

him.

11:29

Then the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon Jephthah
<03316>_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

Gilead
<01568>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and from Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>

he passed over
<05674> (8804)

[unto] the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:30

And Jephthah
<03316>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou shalt without fail
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

into mine hands
<03027>_,

11:31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever
<03318> (8802)

cometh forth
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of my house
<01004>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, when I return
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>

from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

shall surely be the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and I will offer it up
<05927> (8689)

for a burnt offering
<05930>_.

{whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and...: or, or I will offer it, etc}

11:32

So Jephthah
<03316>

passed over
<05674> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them; and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into his hands
<03027>_.

11:33

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them from Aroer
<06177>_,

even till thou come
<0935> (8800)

to Minnith
<04511>_,

[even] twenty
<06242>

cities
<05892>_,

and unto the plain
<058>

of the vineyards
<03754> (8677) <064>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

Thus the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

were subdued
<03665> (8735)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{the plain: or, Abel}

11:34

And Jephthah
<03316>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Mizpeh
<04709>

unto his house
<01004>_,

and, behold, his daughter
<01323>

came out
<03318> (8802)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him with timbrels
<08596>

and with dances
<04246>_:

and she [was his] only child
<03173>_;

beside her he had neither son
<01121>

nor
<0176>

daughter
<01323>_.

{beside...: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}

11:35

And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)

her, that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

my daughter
<01323>_!

thou hast brought
<03766> (0)

me very
<03766> (8689)

low
<03766> (8687)_,

and thou art one of them that trouble
<05916> (8802)

me: for I have opened
<06475> (8804)

my mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go back
<07725> (8800)_.

11:36

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My father
<01>_,

[if] thou hast opened
<06475> (8804)

thy mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

do
<06213> (8798)

to me according to that which
<0834>

hath proceeded
<03318> (8804)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_;

forasmuch
<0310>

as the LORD
<03068>

hath taken
<06213> (8804)

vengeance
<05360>

for thee of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

[even] of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:37

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

Let this thing
<01697>

be done
<06213> (8735)

for me: let me alone
<07503> (8685)

two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that I may go up
<03212> (8799)

and down
<03381> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

and bewail
<01058> (8799)

my virginity
<01331>_,

I and my fellows
<07464> (8675) <07474>_.

{go up...: Heb. go and go down}

11:38

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_.

And he sent her away
<07971> (8799)

[for] two
<08147>

months
<02320>_:

and she went
<03212> (8799)

with her companions
<07464>_,

and bewailed
<01058> (8799)

her virginity
<01331>

upon the mountains
<02022>_.

11:39

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that she returned
<07725> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

who did
<06213> (8799)

with her [according] to his vow
<05088>

which he had vowed
<05087> (8804)_:

and she knew
<03045> (8804)

no man
<0376>_.

And it was a custom
<02706>

in Israel
<03478>_,

{custom: or, ordinance}

11:40

[That] the daughters
<01323>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

yearly
<03117> <03117>

to lament
<08567> (8763)

the daughter
<01323>

of Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

four
<0702>

days
<03117>

in a year
<08141>_.

{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}

Judges 19:1-30

19:1

And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,

when [there was] no king
<04428>

in Israel
<03478>_,

that there was a certain
<0376>

Levite
<03881>

sojourning
<01481> (8802)

on the side
<03411>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

who took
<03947> (8799)

to him a concubine
<0802> <06370>

out of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_.

{a concubine: Heb. a woman a concubine, or, a wife a concubine}

19:2

And his concubine
<06370>

played the whore
<02181> (8799)

against him, and went away
<03212> (8799)

from him unto her father's
<01>

house
<01004>

to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

and was there four
<0702>

whole months
<02320> <03117>_.

{four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months}

19:3

And her husband
<0376>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

her, to speak
<01696> (8763)

friendly
<03820>

unto her, [and] to bring her again
<07725> (8687)_,

having his servant
<05288>

with him, and a couple
<06776>

of asses
<02543>_:

and she brought
<0935> (8686)

him into her father's
<01>

house
<01004>_:

and when the father
<01>

of the damsel
<05291>

saw
<07200> (8799)

him, he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him. {friendly...: Heb. to her heart}

19:4

And his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>_,

retained
<02388> (8686)

him; and he abode
<03427> (8799)

with him three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

so they did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and lodged
<03885> (8799)

there.

19:5

And it came to pass on the fourth
<07243>

day
<03117>_,

when they arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

that he rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_:

and the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his son in law
<02860>_,

Comfort
<05582> (8798)

thine heart
<03820>

with a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>_,

and afterward
<0310>

go your way
<03212> (8799)_.

{Comfort: Heb. Strengthen}

19:6

And they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them together
<03162>_:

for the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

had said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>_,

Be content
<02974> (8685)_,

I pray thee, and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,

and let thine heart
<03820>

be merry
<03190> (8799)_.

19:7

And when the man
<0376>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

his father in law
<02859> (8802)

urged
<06484> (8799)

him: therefore he lodged
<03885> (8799)

there again
<07725> (8799)_.

19:8

And he arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>

on the fifth
<02549>

day
<03117>

to depart
<03212> (8800)_:

and the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Comfort
<05582> (8798)

thine heart
<03824>_,

I pray thee. And they tarried
<04102> (8701)

until afternoon
<03117> <05186> (8800)_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them. {until afternoon: Heb. till the day declined}

19:9

And when the man
<0376>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

he, and his concubine
<06370>_,

and his servant
<05288>_,

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, now the day
<03117>

draweth
<07503> (8804)

toward evening
<06150> (8800)_,

I pray you tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_:

behold, the day
<03117>

groweth to an end
<02583> (8800)_,

lodge
<03885> (8798)

here, that thine heart
<03824>

may be merry
<03190> (8799)_;

and to morrow
<04279>

get you early
<07925> (8689)

on your way
<01870>_,

that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

home
<0168>_.

{draweth: Heb. is weak} {the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day} {home: Heb. to thy tent}

19:10

But the man
<0376>

would
<014> (8804)

not tarry that night
<03885> (8800)_,

but he rose up
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

over against
<05227>

Jebus
<02982>_,

which [is] Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and [there were] with him two
<06776>

asses
<02543>

saddled
<02280> (8803)_,

his concubine
<06370>

also [was] with him. {over against: Heb. to over against}

19:11

[And] when they [were] by Jebus
<02982>_,

the day
<03117>

was far
<03966>

spent
<07286> (8804)_;

and the servant
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his master
<0113>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

I pray thee, and let us turn in
<05493> (8799)

into this city
<05892>

of the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and lodge
<03885> (8799)

in it.

19:12

And his master
<0113>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We will not turn aside
<05493> (8799)

hither into the city
<05892>

of a stranger
<05237>_,

that [is] not of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

we will pass over
<05674> (8804)

to Gibeah
<01390>_.

19:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servant
<05288>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us draw near
<07126> (8799)

to one
<0259>

of these places
<04725>

to lodge all night
<03885> (8804)_,

in Gibeah
<01390>_,

or in Ramah
<07414>_.

19:14

And they passed on
<05674> (8799)

and went their way
<03212> (8799)_;

and the sun
<08121>

went down
<0935> (8799)

upon them [when they were] by
<0681>

Gibeah
<01390>_,

which [belongeth] to Benjamin
<01144>_.

19:15

And they turned aside
<05493> (8799)

thither, to go in
<0935> (8800)

[and] to lodge
<03885> (8800)

in Gibeah
<01390>_:

and when he went in
<0935> (8799)_,

he sat him down
<03427> (8799)

in a street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_:

for [there was] no man
<0376>

that took
<0622> (8764)

them into his house
<01004>

to lodging
<03885> (8800)_.

19:16

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

an old
<02205>

man
<0376>

from his work
<04639>

out of the field
<07704>

at even
<06153>_,

which [was] also
<0376>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_;

and he sojourned
<01481> (8804)

in Gibeah
<01390>_:

but the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

[were] Benjamites
<01145>_.

19:17

And when he had lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

he saw
<07200> (8799)

a wayfaring
<0732> (8802)

man
<0376>

in the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the old
<02205>

man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whither goest
<03212> (8799)

thou? and whence
<0370>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou?

19:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We [are] passing
<05674> (8802)

from Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>

toward the side
<03411>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_;

from thence [am] I: and I went
<03212> (8799)

to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

but I [am now] going
<01980> (8802)

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and there [is] no man
<0376>

that receiveth
<0622> (8764)

me to house
<01004>_.

{receiveth: Heb. gathereth}

19:19

Yet there is
<03426>

both straw
<08401>

and provender
<04554>

for our asses
<02543>_;

and there is bread
<03899>

and wine
<03196>

also for me, and for thy handmaid
<0519>_,

and for the young man
<05288>

[which is] with thy servants
<05650>_:

[there is] no want
<04270>

of any thing
<01697>_.

19:20

And the old
<02205>

man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peace
<07965>

[be] with thee; howsoever
<07535>

[let] all thy wants
<04270>

[lie] upon me; only lodge
<03885> (8799)

not in the street
<07339>_.

19:21

So he brought
<0935> (8686)

him into his house
<01004>_,

and gave provender
<01101> (8799)

unto the asses
<02543>_:

and they washed
<07364> (8799)

their feet
<07272>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_.

19:22

[Now] as they were making their hearts
<03820>

merry
<03190> (8688)_,

behold, the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_,

certain
<0582>

sons
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>_,

beset
<05437> (0)

the house
<01004>

round about
<05437> (8738)_,

[and] beat
<01849> (8693)

at the door
<01817>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

to the master
<01167>

of the house
<01004>_,

the old
<02205>

man
<0376>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

the man
<0376>

that came
<0935> (8804)

into thine house
<01004>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)

him.

19:23

And the man
<0376>_,

the master
<01167>

of the house
<01004>_,

went out
<03318> (8799)

unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Nay
<0408>_,

my brethren
<0251>_,

[nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly
<07489> (8686)_;

seeing
<0310>

that this man
<0376>

is come
<0935> (8804)

into mine house
<01004>_,

do
<06213> (8799)

not this folly
<05039>_.

19:24

Behold, [here is] my daughter
<01323>

a maiden
<01330>_,

and his concubine
<06370>_;

them I will bring out
<03318> (8686)

now, and humble
<06031> (8761)

ye them, and do
<06213> (8798)

with them what seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

unto you: but unto this man
<0376>

do
<06213> (8799)

not so
<02063>

vile
<05039>

a thing
<01697>_.

{so vile...: Heb. the matter of this folly}

19:25

But the men
<0582>

would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

to him: so the man
<0376>

took
<02388> (8686)

his concubine
<06370>_,

and brought
<03318> (8686)

her forth
<02351>

unto them; and they knew
<03045> (8799)

her, and abused
<05953> (8691)

her all the night
<03915>

until the morning
<01242>_:

and when the day
<07837>

began to spring
<05927> (8800)_,

they let her go
<07971> (8762)_.

19:26

Then came
<0935> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

in the dawning
<06437> (8800)

of the day
<01242>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

at the door
<06607>

of the man's
<0376>

house
<01004>

where her lord
<0113>

[was], till it was light
<0216>_.

19:27

And her lord
<0113>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and opened
<06605> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the house
<01004>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

his way
<01870>_:

and, behold, the woman
<0802>

his concubine
<06370>

was fallen down
<05307> (8802)

[at] the door
<06607>

of the house
<01004>_,

and her hands
<03027>

[were] upon the threshold
<05592>_.

19:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Up
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us be going
<03212> (8799)_.

But none answered
<06030> (8802)_.

Then the man
<0376>

took
<03947> (8799)

her [up] upon an ass
<02543>_,

and the man
<0376>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and gat
<03212> (8799)

him unto his place
<04725>_.

19:29

And when he was come
<0935> (8799)

into his house
<01004>_,

he took
<03947> (8799)

a knife
<03979>_,

and laid hold
<02388> (8686)

on his concubine
<06370>_,

and divided
<05408> (8762)

her, [together] with her bones
<06106>_,

into twelve
<08147> <06240>

pieces
<05409>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

her into all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_.

19:30

And it was so
<01961> (8738)_,

that all that saw
<07200> (8802)

it said
<0559> (8804)_,

There was no such deed
<02063>

done nor seen
<07200> (8738)

from the day
<03117>

that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8800)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto this day
<03117>_:

consider
<07760> (8798)

of it, take advice
<05779> (8798)_,

and speak
<01696> (8761)

[your minds].
