Morgan Bible (M.638, fol. 016rb): The Concubine led forth; The Concubine on Threshold
On the left: Four armed Benjamites seize the arms and waist of the concubine, who stands helpless between them with her head bent.
On the right: The Levite stands in the doorway, raising his hands as he discovers his concubine lying dead on the threshold. Behind him is his servant. The old man looks out through the window. Above the legs of the concubine stands a tree.
