UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) who will take me into his house

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it passing we from, food/grain/bread Yehuda until remote_parts hill_country ʼEfrayim from=there I and,went until house_of food/grain/bread Yehuda and=DOM house_of YHWH I going and,no (a)_man taken DOM,me the,house,into )

This phrase refers to someone inviting other people into his house to spend the night there. Alternate translation: “who has invited me to stay in his house”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

Here the Levite says “me,” but he is actually referring to himself along with his servant and his concubine. Alternate translation: “will take us”
