UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־בֵּ֨ית אָבִ֜י⁠ו

DOM house_of his/its=father

The author is using the term house by association to mean a group of people who were living together, not necessarily all in the same building. Gideon’s father was the head of this household, which probably included family members in several generations and servants. Alternate translation: [the people in his extended family]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וְ⁠אֶת־אַנְשֵׁ֥י הָ⁠עִ֛יר

and=DOM men_of the=city

Here the masculine term men has a generic sense that includes both men and women. While the males in the city were the most likely to attack Gideon for tearing down the altar of Baal, he probably feared any person—man or woman, adult or child—who would recognize him and identify him as the person who had done that. Alternate translation: [and the people of the city]
