And he saidh559h8799 unto him, We are passingh5674h8802 from Bethlehemjudahh1035h3063 toward the sideh3411 of mounth2022 Ephraimh669; from thence am I: and I wenth3212h8799 to Bethlehemjudahh1035h3063, but I am now goingh1980h8802 to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068; and there is no manh376 that receivethh622h8764 me to househ1004. receiveth: Heb. gathereth

20

And the oldh2205 manh376 saidh559h8799, Peaceh7965 be with thee; howsoeverh7535 let all thy wantsh4270 lie upon me; only lodgeh3885h8799 not in the streeth7339.

23

And the manh376, the masterh1167 of the househ1004, went outh3318h8799 unto them, and saidh559h8799 unto them, Nayh408, my brethrenh251, nay , I pray you, do not so wickedlyh7489h8686; seeingh310 that this manh376 is comeh935h8804 into mine househ1004, doh6213h8799 not this follyh5039.

24

Behold, here is my daughterh1323 a maidenh1330, and his concubineh6370; them I will bring outh3318h8686 now, and humbleh6031h8761 ye them, and doh6213h8798 with them what seemethh5869 goodh2896 unto you: but unto this manh376 doh6213h8799 not soh2063 vileh5039 a thingh1697. so vile...: Heb. the matter of this folly

Then cameh935h8799 the womanh802 in the dawningh6437h8800 of the dayh1242, and fell downh5307h8799 at the doorh6607 of the man'sh376 househ1004 where her lordh113 was , till it was lighth216.

27

And her lordh113 rose uph6965h8799 in the morningh1242, and openedh6605h8799 the doorsh1817 of the househ1004, and went outh3318h8799 to goh3212h8800 his wayh1870: and, behold, the womanh802 his concubineh6370 was fallen downh5307h8802 at the doorh6607 of the househ1004, and her handsh3027 were upon the thresholdh5592.

28

And he saidh559h8799 unto her, Uph6965h8798, and let us be goingh3212h8799. But none answeredh6030h8802. Then the manh376 tookh3947h8799 her up upon an assh2543, and the manh376 rose uph6965h8799, and gath3212h8799 him unto his placeh4725.

And when he was comeh935h8799 into his househ1004, he tookh3947h8799 a knifeh3979, and laid holdh2388h8686 on his concubineh6370, and dividedh5408h8762 her, together with her bonesh6106, into twelveh8147h6240 piecesh5409, and senth7971h8762 her into all the coastsh1366 of Israelh3478.
