Jueces 19:23 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 19:23

And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them
Opened the door, and went out to converse with them, and talked them after this manner:

and said unto them, nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so
wickedly;
it is plain he understood them in such sense, that they meant not bare knowledge of the man, as who he was but to commit wickedness the most abominable; so great, that it cannot be well said how great it is; and to dissuade from it, he uses the most tender language, and the most earnest entreaties:

seeing this man is come into my house, do not this folly;
he argues from the law of hospitality, which ought not to be infringed; a man being obliged to protect a stranger under his roof; and from the nature of the crime, which was folly, stupidity, and what was abominable to the last degree.

Jueces 19:23 In-Context

21 Así que lo llevó a su casa y dio de comer a sus asnos y, después de lavarse los pies, comieron y bebieron.
22 Mientras pasaban un momento agradable, algunos hombres perversos de la ciudad rodearon la casa. Golpeando la puerta, le gritaban al anciano dueño de la casa:—¡Saca al hombre que llegó a tu casa! ¡Queremos tener relaciones sexuales con él!
23 El dueño de la casa salió y les dijo:—No, hermanos míos, no sean tan viles, pues este hombre es mi huésped. ¡No cometan con él tal infamia!
24 Miren, aquí está mi hija, que todavía es virgen, y la concubina de este hombre. Las voy a sacar ahora, para que las abusen y hagan con ellas lo que bien les parezca. Pero con este hombre no cometan tal infamia.
25 Aquellos perversos no quisieron hacerle caso, así que el levita tomó a su concubina y la echó a la calle. Los hombres la violaron y la ultrajaron toda la noche, hasta el amanecer; ya en la madrugada la dejaron ir.
