Verse 23 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. The men of Gibeah surround the house and demand to abuse the visitor. The violence results in the death of the concubine, whose body is later divided and sent throughout the tribes of Israel. The account describes one of the darkest scenes in the book without presenting the attackers’ behavior as a model. The horror of Gibeah provokes a national crisis and forces Israel to confront the seriousness of its own internal corruption.

El dueño de la casa salió y les dijo: «No, hermanos míos, les ruego que no hagan este mal. Ya que este hombre ha entrado en mi casa, no cometan esta infamia.
Le maître de la maison, se présentant à eux, leur dit: Non, mes frères, ne faites pas le mal, je vous prie; puisque cet homme est entré dans ma maison, ne commettez pas cette infamie.

E o homem, dono da casa, saiu a eles e disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, ora não façais semelhante mal; já que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façais tal loucura.
