📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurs during the dark period of the Judges when 'everyone did what was right in their own eyes' and Israel had no king. The Levite's concubine had been brutally assaulted and killed by men from the tribe of Benjamin in Gibeah. By sending her dismembered body to the twelve tribes, the Levite was following an ancient practice of using shocking acts to summon the tribes to war or demand justice for terrible crimes.
