Judges 19:24

Here is my daughter , a maiden - Such a proposal was made by Lot to the men of Sodom, Genesis 19:8 , but nothing can excuse either. That the rights of hospitality were sacred in the East, and most highly regarded we know; and that a man would defend, at the expense of his life, the stranger whom he had admitted under his roof, is true; but how a father could make such a proposal relative to his virgin daughter, must remain among those things which are incomprehensible.
