Exegesis
The noun ha’ish {הָאִישׁ֙ | hā’îš} ‘the man’ is followed by the purpose infinitive lalechet {לָלֶ֔כֶת | lāleḵet} ‘to go,’ with hu {ה֥וּא | hūʾ} ‘he’ emphasizing the subject before the compound object uphilagsho {וּפִילַגְשׁ֖וֹ | ûpîləḡšô} ‘and his concubine’ and vena’aro {וְנַעֲר֑וֹ | wəna‘ărô} ‘and his servant.’
In context — Judges 19:9
And the man rose up to go—he, his concubine, and his servant. But his father-in-law, the father of the girl, said to him, “Behold, please, the day has grown slack toward evening. Please spend the night; behold, the day is ending. Stay here and it will be well with your heart . In the morning you shall rise early for your journey, and you may go to your tent.”
