*
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah ,
who was a Levite ,
and he sojourned there .
*
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place :
and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah ,
as he journeyed .
*
And Micah said unto him ,
Whence comest thou ?
And he said unto him ,
I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah ,
and I go to sojourn where I may find a place .
*
And Micah said unto him ,
Dwell with me ,
and be unto me a father and a priest ,
and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year ,
and a suit of apparel ,
and thy victuals .
So the Levite went in .
*
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man ;
and the young man was unto him as one of his sons .
*
And Micah consecrated the Levite ;
and the young man became his priest ,
and was in the house of Micah .
*
Then said Micah ,
Now know I that the LORD will do me good ,
seeing I have a Levite to my priest .
