Exegesis
The comparative ke’echad {כְּאַחַד | kə-ʾă-ḥaḏ} with mibanav {מִבָּנָיו | mi-bā-na-ḇāw} forms a simile of familial inclusion. English reorders Hebrew verb–subject–object into SVO while preserving sequence and relational nuance.
In context — Judges 17:11
So the Levite consented to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.
