Giudici 19:27 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 19:27

And her lord rose up in the morning
Very early no doubt, and it is scarcely reasonable to think he should sleep quietly after such a riot, and his concubine or wife delivered up to the lust of such brutish creatures:

and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way;
either in search of her, or rather to make the best of his way on his journey, to preserve his own life, having given her up for lost:

and, behold the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the
house, and her hands were upon the threshold;
in a posture that persons are when they fall, stretching out their hands to save themselves what they can; or of such who lay themselves down to sleep with their hands under their heads, and which her husband thought was her case, by what follows.

Giudici 19:27 In-Context

25 Ma quegli uomini non vollero ascoltarlo; laonde quell’uomo prese la sua concubina, e la menò loro nella strada; ed essi la conobbero, e la straziarono tutta quella notte infino alla mattina; poi, all’apparir dell’alba, la rimandarono.
26 E quella donna se ne venne, in sul far del dì, e cascò alla porta della casa di quell’uomo, nella quale il suo signore era; e stette quivi finchè fosse dì chiaro.
27 E il suo signore si levò la mattina, e aprì l’uscio della casa, e usciva fuori per andarsene a suo cammino; ed ecco, quella donna, sua concubina, giaceva alla porta della casa, con le mani in su la soglia.
28 Ed egli le disse: Levati, e andiamocene. Ma non v’era chi rispondesse. Allora egli la caricò sopra un asino, e si levò, e se ne andò al suo luogo.
29 E, come fu giunto a casa sua, tolse un coltello, e prese la sua concubina, e la tagliò, per le sue ossa, in dodici pezzi, e la mandò per tutte le contrade d’Israele.
