Don’t do such a disgraceful thing! 19:24 Here are my virgin daughter and my guest’s ¹  concubine. I will send them out and you can abuse them and do to them whatever you like. ²  But don’t do such a disgraceful thing to this man!” 19:25 The men refused to listen to him, so the Levite ³  grabbed his concubine and made her go outside. ⁴  They raped ⁵  her and abused her all night long until morning.
