Alors, ayant pris ma concubine, je l'ai mise en pièces, et j'en ai envoyé par tout le territoire de l'héritage d'Israël; car ils ont commis un crime énorme, et une infamie en Israël.
J'ai saisi ma concubine, et je l'ai coupée en morceaux, que j'ai envoyés dans tout le territoire de l'héritage d'Israël; car ils ont commis un crime et une infamie en Israël.
C'est pourquoi ayant pris ma concubine, je l'ai mise en pièces, et je les ai envoyées par tous les quartiers de l'héritage d'Israël; car ils ont fait un crime énorme, et une action infâme en Israël.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces,.... Lest it should be thought that these barbarous creatures, after they had used her in such a manner that occasioned her death, that they had committed this fact also; the Levite takes it to himself, and owns that he did that:
and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; to alarm them, and excite their attention to what had passed, and to raise their indignation against it:
for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel; being guilty of adultery and murder, and would have committed the unnatural crime, if they could have had an opportunity of doing it.
