Judges 19:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ The Levite answered, ‘We are travelling from Bethlehem in Judah to the hill country of Ephraim, far from other towns. That is where I live. I needed to go to Bethlehem and now I am returning home.^[a] But no one has taken me into his house to sleep. ¹⁹ We have straw and food for our donkeys. We have food and wine for myself, my wife and my servant. We have everything that we need.’ ²⁰ The old man said, ‘Do not worry. I will take care of you. Please come into my house, but do not stay for the night in this public place.’
