There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.
who was a Levite; his father being, as before observed, of that tribe, though his mother might be of the tribe of Judah: and he sojourned there; that is, at Bethlehem; he was not a native, nor an inhabitant there, but a sojourner, it not being a Levitical city.
