I am now: The LXX read, εις τον οικον μου εγω πορευομαι·: "I am going to my own house;" which is probably the true reading, as we find (Judges 19:29) that he really went home; yet he might have gone previously to Shiloh, or to "the house of the Lord," because that was also in mount Ephraim.

the house: Judges 18:31, Judges 20:18; Joshua 18:1; 1 Samuel 1:3, 1 Samuel 1:7

receiveth: Heb. gathereth, Judges 19:5; Psalms 26:9; John 15:6
