    Pretty sure it's in Judges. If I recall though, it's his concubine in that story. The story of Sodom has a similar tale about a guy offering his virgin daughters up for gang rape.... I don't think he goes through with it in that case though. I love how people claim that THIS is the book we get our morality from....lol.

    Judges 19. A Levite (names aren't given in the story) was traveling and spent the night in Gibeah at the home of an old man. Some of the "wicked people" of the town surrounded the house and told the old man to send the Levite out so they could have sex with him. He said no, but they wouldn't leave, so the Levite sent his concubine out and they gang raped her all night. She made it back to the house but died on the doorstep and he cut her up into 12 pieces and sent one to all the areas of Israel.

    Last few chapters of Judges.

    They raped the girl all night long.

    It shows what happened to Israels depravity, for allowing the surrounding people to continue on in Canaan. They were warned that such things would happen, if the Canaanites were not exterminated as they were ordered to do gradually. That they would be affected. They were warned that they would engage in the same depraved acts that the people around them engaged in, unless they removed such depravity from their midst. The ignored the warning, and they suffered the consequences.

    This is the story of Lot when the men in town demanded he send his two male houseguests outside so they could have sex with them.

    Apparently Lot thought it was more acceptable for them to rape his daughters than his guests?

    The only one I know is Lot offered his daughters to the sodomites of Sodom, instead of the two angels (who were good looking men) who came to save Lot and his family. Anyway they refused the daughters and Lot escaped with the angels and his daughters and his wife turned into a pillar of salt (for turning around to look at the explosion of Sodom & Gomorroh)

    I believe that you are referring to a story in Judges 19, although it is not his daughter.

  • Its incredible that people think men intent on performing homosexual acts on strange men, would accept a woman in their place?

    Even the small stories in the bible are not supported by reality.
