Judges 17:7-13

7And there was a young manH5288 out of Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035 of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who was a LeviteH3881, and he sojournedH1481 there. 8And the manH376 departedH3212 out of the cityH5892 from Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035 to sojournH1481 where he could findH4672 a place: and he cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, as he journeyedH1870H6213.1 9And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, WhenceH370 comestH935 thou? And he saidH559 unto him, I am a LeviteH3881 of Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035, and I goH1980 to sojournH1481 where I may findH4672 a place. 10And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, DwellH3427 with me, and be unto me a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701 by the yearH3117, and a suitH6187 of apparelH899, and thy victualsH4241. So the LeviteH3881 went inH3212.2 11And the LeviteH3881 was contentH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the young manH5288 was unto him as oneH259 of his sonsH1121. 12And MicahH4318 consecratedH3027H4390 the LeviteH3881; and the young manH5288 became his priestH3548, and was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318. 13Then saidH559 MicahH4318, Now knowH3045 I that YhwhH3068 will do me goodH3190, seeing I have a LeviteH3881 to my priestH3548.
