Explanation preview
This verse introduces a young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, a member of the tribe set apart for priestly service but living as a resident alien among Judah's clans. The narrator gives no name yet, only his tribe and town, and the detail matters because Levites had no territorial inheritance of their own.
