SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:7

¶ Y había un joven de Belén de Judá, de la tribu de Judá, el cual era levita; y peregrinaba allí.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 17:7

Verse 7. Of the family of
Judah] The word family may be taken here for tribe; or the young man might have been of the tribe of Judah by his mother, and of the tribe of Levi by his father, for he is called here a Levite; and it is probable that he might have officiated at Shiloh, in the Levitical office. A Levite might marry into any other tribe, providing the woman was not an heiress.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah , etc.] As there were two Bethlehems, one in the
tribe of Zebulun, ( Joshua 19:15) and another in the tribe of Judah, the place here designed, Judah is added to it, to distinguish it from the other: of the family of Judah : which refers either to the young man, who was by his father’s side a Levite, and by his mother’s side, as Jarchi thinks, of the tribe of Judah, which seems very probable, though the genealogies of families were not reckoned from the mother; wherefore he might be so called because he had lived chiefly in the tribe of Judah, and particularly at Bethlehem; but Kimchi, and several other Jewish commentators, refer this to the city of Bethlehem, that was of the tribe of Judah, family being put for the tribe; or belonged to the children of Judah; though one would think there was no need to have added this, since it was fully expressed before by calling it Bethlehemjudah; the former sense therefore seems best: 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.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-13 - Micah thought it was a sign of
God's favour to him and his images, tha a Levite should come to his door. Thus those who please themselves with their own delusions, if Providence unexpectedly bring any thing to their hands that further them in their evil way, are apt from thence to think that God is pleased with them __________________________________________________________________
