Exegesis
The verse opens with the negative formula velo {וְלֹֽא | wə-lōʼ} + avo {אָב֤וּ | ā-vû} marking refusal before the indirect object lo {ל֔וֹ | lō} in the infinitive clause lishmo’a {לִשְׁמֹ֣עַֽ | li-šmə-’ā‘} “to listen.”
The Hitpael verb vayit’all’lu {וַיִּֽתְעַלְּלוּ | way-yit-’al-le-lû} with the suffix bah {בָהּ | bāh} “on her” intensifies the act of abuse, stretching through kol-halailah {כָּל־הַלַּ֙יְלָה֙ | kol-ha-lay-lāh} “all night” until ad-haboker {עַד־הַבֹּ֔קֶר | ’ad-hā-bō-qer} “until morning.”
Root and etymology
‘-l-l
“to do perversely”
In context — Judges 19:25
But the men were not willing to listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and sent her outside to them. They knew her, and they abused her all night until morning, and they sent her away as the dawn was rising.
