Old TestamentJudgesThe Levite in Micah’s House · 17:7–1317:7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.17:8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.17:9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.17:10 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.17:11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.17:12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.17:13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
