The word "father" is here used in the sense of an advisor, and not to a literal father. AT: "an advisor and a priest" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
It is implied that the Levite accepted Micah's offer, and therefore, entered Micah's house. AT: "So the Levite accepted his offer and went into his house" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
The relationship between the Levite and Micah became like the close relationship between a father and son. AT: "the young man became close to Micah and was like one of his sons" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
