Jueces 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:6

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces
Lest it should be thought that these barbarous creatures, after they had used her in such a manner that occasioned her death, that they had committed this fact also; the Levite takes it to himself, and owns that he did that:

and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel;
to alarm them, and excite their attention to what had passed, and to raise their indignation against it:

for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel;
being guilty of adultery and murder, and would have committed the unnatural crime, if they could have had an opportunity of doing it.

Jueces 20:6 In-Context

4 El levita, esposo de la mujer asesinada, respondió:—Mi concubina y yo llegamos a Guibeá de Benjamín para pasar la noche.

5 Durante la noche los hombres de Guibeá se levantaron contra mí y rodearon la casa, con la intención de matarme. Luego violaron a mi concubina de tal manera que murió.

6 Entonces la tomé, la corté en pedazos, y envié un pedazo a cada tribu en el territorio israelita, porque esa gente cometió un acto depravado e infame en Israel.

7 Ahora, todos ustedes israelitas, opinen y tomen una decisión aquí mismo.

8 Todo el pueblo se levantó como un solo hombre, y dijo:—¡Ninguno de nosotros volverá a su carpa! ¡Nadie regresará a su casa!
