Judges 17:5-12

5And the manH376 MicahH4318 had a houseH1004 of 1godsH430, and madeH6213 an ephodH646 and teraphimH8655, and consecrated oneH259 of his sonsH1121, who becameH1961 his priestH3548.

6In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478; every manH376 did what was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.

7And there wasH1961 a youngH5288 manH5288 out of Bethlehem-Judah of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who wasH1961 a LeviteH3881, and he sojourned there.

8And the manH376 departed from the cityH5892, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn whereH834 he might findH4672 [a place]. And as he journeyed, he cameH935 to mount EphraimH669, to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.

9And MicahH4318 saidH559 to him, Whence comest thou? And he saidH559 to him, I am a LeviteH3881 of Bethlehem-Judah, and I goH1980 to sojourn whereH834 I may findH4672 [a place].

10And MicahH4318 saidH559 to him, DwellH3427 with me, and beH1961 to me a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee yearly tenH6235 silver-pieces, and a suit of garmentsH899, and thy victuals. And the LeviteH3881 went in.

11And the LeviteH3881 wasH1961 content to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the youngH5288 manH376 wasH1961 to 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.
