(Some words not found in UHB: and,responded five the,men the,gone to,spy_out DOM the=earth/land Layish and=they_said to/towards brothers,their the,know that/for/because/then/when there_are in/on/at/with,houses the=these ephod and,household_gods and,carved_image and,cast_metal and=now consider what do )

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells in what regard they said this. They were not answering a question but speaking in light of the situation. Alternate translation: “remarked”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

their brothers

The author is speaking as if these fellow members of the tribe of Dan were the actual brothers of the five men. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “their kinsmen”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Do you know that in these houses {are} an ephod and household idols and an idol and a molded image?

The men are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should know that these houses contain an ephod and household idols and an idol and a molded image!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

in these houses

The plural term houses suggests that the phrase “the house of Micah,” which the author uses several times in this chapter and the previous one, actually refers to a compound on which there were several houses. The reference to “the house of the young man” in the next verse supports this understanding. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in this compound” or “in this complex of houses”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

and an idol and a molded image

See how you translated the same expression in 17:3. Alternate translation: “a cast metal idol”
