Exegesis

The final adverb pô {פֹּה | pô} ‘here’ grounds the inquiry in a specific location. This sequence from identification to pointed questioning heightens dramatic tension and underscores the Levite’s unexpected presence.

In contextJudges 18:3

They were near the house of Micah, and they recognized the voice of the young Levite ; so they turned aside there and said to him, “Who has brought you here, and what are you doing in this place ? And what is there for you here?”
