— Judges 19:26, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.”
“Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. ”
“Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until it was light.”
“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.”
“But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house, where her lord lodged, and there fell down.”
“Then at the dawn of day the woman came, and, falling down at the door of the man's house where her master was, was stretched there till it was light.”
“Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.”
And the old man went out to them, and he said: “Do not choose, brothers, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
I have a virgin daughter, and this man has a mate. I will lead them out to you, so that you may debase them and may satisfy your lust. Only, I beg you, do not commit this crime against nature on the man.”
But they were not willing to agree to his words. So the man, discerning this, led out his mate to them, and he delivered her to their sexual abuse. And when they had abused her for the entire night, they released her in the morning.
But the woman, as darkness was receding, came to the door of the house, where her lord was staying, and there she fell down.
When morning came, the man arose, and he opened the door, so that he might complete the journey that he had begun. And behold, his mate was lying before the door, with her hands reaching out to the threshold.
And he, thinking that she was resting, said to her, “Get up, and let us walk.” But since she gave no response, realizing that she had died, he took her up, and he laid her on his donkey, and he returned to his house.
And when he had arrived, he took up a sword, and he cut into pieces the dead body of his wife, with her bones, into twelve parts. And he sent the pieces into all the parts of Israel.
