1. Judges 19:21 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How does the text continue to minimize the concubine?

Judges 19:21 (ESV)

21 So he brought him into his house and gave the donkeys feed. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

The old man takes the visitors to his place, fodders the donkeys, gives the Levite and his companions water to wash their feet, serves them food and drink, and feasts with them. But the hospitality seems to be only for the men. The text says, He brought him into his house. This almost seems to foreshadow what is coming, for the woman appears unprotected.
