7. There was a young man, a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, who resided within the clan of Judah.
8. The man left the town of Bethlehem in Judah to settle wherever he could find a place. On his way he came to Micah’s home in the hill country of Ephraim.
9. “Where do you come from? ” Micah asked him.He answered him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I’m going to settle wherever I can find a place.”
10. Micah replied, “Stay with me and be my father and priest, and I will give you four ounces of silver a year, along with your clothing and provisions.” So the Levite went in
11. and agreed to stay with the man, and the young man became like one of his sons.
