The Key Word — וַיִּֽתְעַלְּלוּ־, vai.yit.'a.le.lu-generated
The Hebrew word עָלַל (alal) means 'to abuse' or 'to mistreat.' It is a Hithpael verb, indicating a reflexive action where the subject acts upon themselves or each other. This word conveys the severity of the actions taken against the concubine, emphasizing the abusive nature of the situation.
In this context, the verb highlights the horrific treatment the concubine endured, showing a complete lack of respect and humanity from the men involved. The use of this verb underscores the gravity of the crime committed against her.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses abused to describe the actions of the men towards the concubine.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb וַיִּֽתְעַלְּלוּ־, and they abused, governs the sentence, with multiple phrases detailing the actions taken. The structure emphasizes the sequence of events leading to the tragic outcome.
The order of the Hebrew words places the subject at the beginning, highlighting the men’s refusal to listen and the subsequent actions taken against the concubine.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the Hebrew verb וַיִּֽתְעַלְּלוּ־ as ἐνέπαιζον, which means 'they mocked' or 'they abused.' This choice narrows the focus to the derisive and contemptuous nature of the actions, suggesting an additional layer of cruelty in their treatment of her.
This interpretation in the Septuagint may reflect a deeper understanding of the moral implications of the actions taken by the men.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24, 25) Behold, here is my daughter . . .—The main horror of these verses lies, and is meant to lie, in the nameless infamy to which these men had sunk, of whom we can only say, “Non ragionam di lor ma guarda è passa.” But we must not omit to notice that the conduct of the old man and the Levite, though it is not formally condemned, speaks of the existence of a very rudimentary morality, a selfishness, and a low estimate of the rights and sacred dignity of women, which shows from what depths the world has emerged. If it was possible to frustrate the vile assault of these wretches in this way it must have been possible to frustrate it altogether. There is something terribly repulsive in the…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 25. So the man took his concubine] The word יחזק yachazek, which we here translate simply took, signifies rather to take or seize by violence. The woman would not go out to them; but her graceless husband forced her to go, in order that he might save his own body. He could have but little love for her, and this was the cause of their separation before. The men of Gibeah who wished to abuse the body of the Levite; the Levite who wished to save his body at the expense of the modesty, reputation, and life of his wife; and the old man who wished to save his guest at the expense of the violation of his daughter; are all characters that humanity and modesty wish to be buried in everlasting…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges25. If the offer of the host strikes us as immoral, the conduct of the Levite makes an even worse impression: he sacrifices his concubine-wife to save himself. The same despicable behaviour appears in the stories of Abraham and Isaac, Genesis 12:10 ff. J, Genesis 12:20 E, Genesis 26:6-11 J; no blame or condemnation is attached to any one; we must not expect to find even the elements of chivalry in the ancient Hebrew estimate of womanhood. Our standards of morality are inapplicable.

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."

[DAY]
The ancient Hebrews began their artificial day at evening, and ended it the next evening, so that the night proceeded the day. This usage may probably be traced to the terms employed in describing the creation, Ge 1:5,8,13, etc., "The evening and the morning were the first day." The Hebrews allowed twelve to the day; but these hours were not equal, except at the equinox. At other times, when the hours of the night were long, those of the day were short, as in winter; and when the hours of night were short, as at midsummer, the hours of the day were long in proportion. See HOURS.
