(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it sons_of Dān not heard voice_of,your with,us or attack on,you(pl) men ones_hot_of creature and,you_will_gather life_of,your and,the_life_of your_household_of,your )

The Danites are speaking as if these men actually had souls that were bitter. They mean that these men were easily provoked to violence. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [violent men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

The Danites are using a common expression of their culture to mean that Micah and the people of his household would lose their lives. (While the first instance of soul in this verse refers to the character of the Danite men, in these further instances soul means “life.”) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you lose your life and the life of your house]

The Danites are using the term house by association to mean household. The context suggests that many of Micah’s household members, both family and servants, were among the men he gathered to pursue the Danites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the life of your household]
