And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there (17:7) And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed (17:8) And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I [am] a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place] (17:9) And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in (17:10) And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons (17:11) And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah (17:12) Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest
(17:13)
