“house”
In context — Judges 18:2
So the sons of Dan sent five men from their clan, from their outer districts—men of valor from Zorah and from Eshtaol—to spy out the land and investigate it. They told them, “Go, examine the land.” They came to the hill-country of Ephraim, reached the house of Micah, and stayed the night there.
