Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. If so, use the term your language uses to express this relationship. The UST and ULT demonstrate different ways this relationship is expressed in English.

While the pronoun they probably refers in its first two instances to the Levite, his concubine, his servant, and his father-in-law, in the third instance, it may not include the father-in-law. Since he already lived in the house, the author may not be saying that he was among those who lodged or stayed overnight there. Your language might naturally indicate this distinction in some way.
19:4 The woman’s father demonstrated typical Near Eastern hospitality, in contrast to what would later transpire in Gibeah (19:14-28). The scene in Bethlehem offers reconciliation and the promise of a new beginning.

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.
