Ada seorang pemuda dari Betlehem-Yehuda, dari kaum Yehuda; ia seorang Lewi, dan ia tinggal di sana sebagai pendatang.

Of the clan of Yehudah. He was a Leivi maternally.14Paternally, he was descended from Yehudah. This explains why he was both “of the clan of Yehudah”, and a Levi. However, the Rabbis15Bava Basra, 109:b. interpret that, because he behaved like Menasheh,16The king who instituted idol worship throughout Eretz Yisroel. (Melachim 2, 21). who was descended from Yehudah, he is described as "of the clan of Yehudah." He was actually a Leivi, the son of Gershom, son of our master Moshe, as stated explicitly below, "Yehonasan, son of Gershom, etc."17
