Here are my virgin daughter and my guest’s concubine. I will send them out and you can abuse them and do to them whatever you like. But don’t do such a disgraceful thing to this man!”

The woman arrived back at daybreak and was sprawled out on the doorstep of the house where her master was staying until it became light.
