I have a question

This heading is for unanswered questions and is an important part of the continual effort to improve this wiki.

Verse 19:__

First of all, are we to understand that when the “lord rose up in the morning” and his concubine didn’t answer him, she was already dead?

Secondly, assuming the lord was not the murderer, I was thinking about my own wife—what I would do if I found her raped and murdered on my doorstep, and it certainly wouldn’t involve cutting up her body and sending the parts around the country. If nothing else, I would give her a proper burial; it would be the very least I could do.

That having been said, what was the general status of concubines in ancient Israel? I understand that they weren’t on the same level as a “primary” wife, but was it generally just a legal relationship without feeling?


Resources

This heading is for listing links and print resources, including those cited in the notes. A short comment about the particular strengths of a resource can be helpful. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →


Notes

Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.
