We want to have sex with him! The old man went outside and said to them: No, my friends! Please! Do not do such an evil, immoral thing! This man is my guest. Here is his concubine and my virgin daughter. I will bring them out now. You can have them. Do whatever you want with them. But do not do such an awful thing to this man! The men would not listen to him. The Levite took his concubine and put her outside with them. They raped her and abused her all night long and did not stop until morning. At dawn the woman came and fell down at the door of the old man's house. She was still there when daylight came. When her master opened the door that morning to go on his way, he found his concubine lying in front of the house with her hands reaching for the door. He said: Get up and let us go. But there was no answer. Then he put her body across the donkey and started on his way home. When he arrived at his house he got a knife. He took his concubine's body and cut it into twelve pieces. He sent one piece to each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Everyone who saw it said: No such deed has been seen or done since the people of Israel left Egypt! We must do something about this! What will we do?
