Judges 19:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ He saw the Levite traveller in the public place. He asked, ‘Where are you travelling to? Where have you come from?’

¹⁸ The Levite answered, ‘We are travelling from Bethlehem in Judah to the hill country of Ephraim, far from other towns. That is where I live. I needed to go to Bethlehem and now I am returning home.^[a] But no one has taken me into his house to sleep. ¹⁹ We have straw and food for our donkeys. We have food and wine for myself, my wife and my servant. We have everything that we need.’
