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.’
