Judges 17:5-12

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

6In thoseH376 daysH3117 there was noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: everyH376 manH376 didH6213 that whichH5869 was rightH3477 in his ownH376 eyesH5869.

7And there was a youngH5288 manH5288 outH8033 of Beth-lehem-judah, of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who was a LeviteH3881, and he sojourned there.

8And the manH376 departedH935 outH4672 of the cityH5892, outH4672 of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn whereH834 he couldH376 findH4672 a placeH1004: and he cameH935 to the hillH2022 countryH2022 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 placeH935.

10And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, DwellH3427 with meH5414, and be unto meH5414 a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 pieces of silverH3701 by the yearH3117, and a suitH6187 of apparel, and thy victuals. SoH1961 the LeviteH3881 wentH1961 in.

11And the LeviteH3881 was content to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the youngH5288 manH376 was unto him as one of his sonsH1121.

12And MicahH4318 consecrated the LeviteH3881, and the youngH5288 manH5288 becameH1961 his priestH3548, and was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.
