Judges 17:5-12

5And the man Micah had a house of 1gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

6In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

7And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.

8And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find [a place]. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

9And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].

10And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in.

11And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.

12And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
