OET (OET-RV) Now there was a young Levite man from the family of Yehudah[fn] who’d been staying in Bethlehem (in Yehudah).

17:7 Maybe one parent was from the tribe of Levi and one from Yehudah?

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

וַ⁠יְהִי־נַ֗עַר מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית לֶ֨חֶם֙ יְהוּדָ֔ה מִ⁠מִּשְׁפַּ֖חַת יְהוּדָ֑ה וְ⁠ה֥וּא לֵוִ֖י וְ⁠ה֥וּא גָֽר־שָֽׁם

and=he/it_was young_man from,Beth- food/grain/bread Yehuda of,clan_of Yehuda and=he Lēvī and=he staying there

The author is using this sentence to introduce a young Levite as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠מִּשְׁפַּ֖חַת יְהוּדָ֑ה

of,clan_of Yehuda

The author is using the term clan by association to mean the territory assigned to the clans of Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from the land assigned to the clans of Judah]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:7-8 Not much about this Levite fits into orthodox biblical categories. Some Levites were priests, while others were temple servants (cp. Num 3–4). Levites were scattered throughout Israel (Gen 49:5-7; Josh 21). This young man, apparently a descendant of Gershom (Judg 18:30; cp. Exod 2:21-22), was based in Judah, but not in a Levitical town, and was looking for another place to live.

17:7 Maybe one parent was from the tribe of Levi and one from Yehudah?

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
