The Levite 1  said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem 2  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. 3  But no one has invited me into their home.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Levite) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 map For location see Map5 B1; Map7 E2; Map8 E2; Map10 B4.

3 tn Heb “I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but [to] the house of the LORD I am going.” The Hebrew text has “house of the LORD,” which might refer to the shrine at Shiloh. The LXX reads “to my house.”
