Judges 17:7-13

7And there wasH1961 a youngH5288 manH5288 out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who wasH1961 a LeviteH3881; and he sojourned there. 8And the manH376 departed out of the cityH5892, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn whereH834 he could findH4672 a place, and he cameH935 to the hill-country of EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, as he journeyed. 9And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, Whence comest thou? And he saidH559 unto him, I am a LeviteH3881 of Beth-lehem-judah, and I goH1980 to sojourn whereH834 I may findH4672 a place. 10And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, DwellH3427 with me, and beH1961 unto me a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 pieces of silverH3701 by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the LeviteH3881 went in. 11And the LeviteH3881 wasH1961 content to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the youngH5288 manH376 wasH1961 unto him as oneH259 of his sonsH1121. 12And MicahH4318 consecrated the LeviteH3881, and the youngH5288 manH5288 becameH1961 his priestH3548, and wasH1961 in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318. 13Then saidH559 MicahH4318, NowH6258 knowH3045 I that Jehovah will do me goodH3190, seeing I have a LeviteH3881 to my priestH3548.
