Judges 17:7-13

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. 13Then saidH559 MicahH4318, NowH6258 I knowH3045 that Jehovah will do me goodH3190, because I have the LeviteH3881 for priestH3548.
