“Get up,” he told her. “Let us go.” But there was no response. So the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.”
Judges 19:28 (BSB)
Context Reading
26Early that morning, the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, collapsed at the doorway, and lay there until it was light. 27In the morning, when her master got up and opened the doors of the house to go out on his journey, there was his concubine, collapsed in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28“Get up,” he told her. “Let us go.” But there was no response. So the man put her on his donkey and set out for home. 29When he reached his house, he picked up a knife, took hold of his concubine, cut her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel. 30And everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has been seen or done from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt until this day. Think it over, take counsel, and speak up!”
