Exegesis
Two construct-state chains—el-bêt {אֶל־בֵּ֣ית | ʾel-bêt} + ʼābîhā {אָבִיהָ | ʾābîhā} ‘to the house of her father’, and el-bêt {אֶל־בֵּ֥ית | ʾel-bêt} + leḥem {לֶ֖חֶם | leḥem} + yehūdāh {יְהוּדָ֑ה | yehūdāh} ‘to Bethlehem of Judah’—express both familial and geographic destination.
In context — Judges 19:2
And his concubine acted unfaithfully against him and went to her father’s house in Bethlehem of Judah, where she remained for four months.
