This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details are available on the course page.

Encyclopedia Judaica

This claim More recently, scholars have suggested that it is more likely for the narrative to be based on a kernel of truth, particularly since it accounts for the stark contrast in the biblical narrative between the character of the tribe before the incident and its character afterwards.[4] is only referenced to the EJ. I cannot find it without a volume and page reference and will remove it if none is provided.81.129.212.237 (talk) 21:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incoherence

This entire article is as incoherent as the Biblical narrative itself. Indeed, after a few lines about interpretation, the rest merely reproduces a long excerpt from some uncredited translation -- which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Where is the expected analysis of context, intent, and plausibility, including the peculiar resemblance to the story of Sodom? Other related Wikipedia pages do a much better job; perhaps the page here should be folded in or simply removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.193.222 (talk) 19:54, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Trible's arguments to discussion of scholarly interpretations

According to Trible, the choice of words in this story hold a great deal of significance. This is especially seen in the differentiation between singular and plural verbs: "And his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, made him stay; and he remained with him three days; so they ate and drank and spent the night. On the fourth day they got up early in the morning, and he arose to go." Judges 19:4-5 Trible suggests that the change from they to he excludes the woman from the action. Sctimmons (talk) 19:18, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She also highlights the phraseology in the verses that describe their arrival in Gibeah: "And he went in and sat in the open square of the city; no man took them into his house to spend the night." Judges 19:15 This verse uses the plural "them," which is in direct contrast to when the old man extends an invitation: "So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank." Judges 19:21 Trible argues that this contrast is "prophetic," a foretaste of the exclusion from safety that the woman would face when danger struck later that night. Sctimmons (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trible's Argument Structure

Throughout the chapter, various bible verses are placed strategically with a prelude of information before and a further explanation following in order to establish an in-depth description. Furthermore, the claims made throughout are always supported with biblical evidence and the example narratives are split into "episodes" or "scenes" for simplicity and effective organization.

Biblical parallel according to Trible

Trible discusses parallels between the story of the concubine and that between Lot and his daughters. The women in both narratives were sacrificed or attempted to be sacrificed for the safety of the men. She emphasizes her argument by saying, "These two stories show that rules of hospitality in Israel protect only males." kk_1291 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
