Exegesis

The phrase mibbeit-lechem Yəhūdāh {מִבֵּית־לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה | mibēyt-ləḥem Yəhūdāh} ‘from Bethlehem in Judah’ marks the origin in a source-path-goal sequence, continued by ’ad-yarkəṯê har-’Ep̄rāyim {עַד־יַרְכְּתֵי הַר־אֶפְרַיִם | ’ad-yarkəṯê har-’Ep̄rāyim} ‘to the remotest parts of the hill country of Ephraim.’

In contextJudges 19:18

And he said to him, “We are passing through from Bethlehem in Judah to the remotest parts of the hill country of Ephraim. From there I came and went to Bethlehem in Judah, and now I am going to the house of the LORD , but there is no one to receive me into his house.”
