BRAGADAYJAH 784
Abuse of the Levite’s Wife
At the stranger’s invitation the
sojourners decided to lodge with him. And they moved in with the stranger who
provided for theirs’ and their asses’ needs. And it happened that while they
were in the house, the local ruffians, men of the city, described as sons of
Belial, (children of the devil), surrounded the house the, and beating on the
door of the house, demanded of the owner that they sent out the stranger that
they may know (sodomize) him. We note, interestingly that God’s word describes
those who harbor such unnatural thoughts, as children of the devil. However, to
continue with the story, the owner of the house pleaded and reasoned with the
men and asked them to change their minds and desist. He even suggested to them
that he had two women in the house, his own daughter and the wife of the
stranger; but he said, to this man who is my guest, do not such a vile thing
unto him. By way of comment again, the bible refers to the suggestion of
knowing the man in his house as a vile thing, which indeed it was and still is.
But the local hooligans were insistent and so the man offered up his concubine,
and they knew and abused her all night and let her go in the early hours of the
morning; and exhausted, battered and bruised, the woman fell unconscious at the
door and laid there.
