Judges 19:18

19:18 The Levite ²  said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem ³  in Judah to the remote region of the Ephraimite hill country. That’s where I’m from. I had business in Bethlehem in Judah, but now I’m heading home. ⁴  But no one has invited me into their home.

[16:5]  ¹ tn Heb “subdue him in order to humiliate him.”
