Judges 17:8-10
International Standard Version
8 The man had left his city Bethlehem in Judah to live wherever he could. As he traveled along, he eventually arrived at Micah’s house in the mountainous region[a] of Ephraim, looking for work.
9 Micah asked him, “Where did you come from?”
He replied, “I’m a descendant of Levi from Bethlehem in Judah, and I’m going to stay temporarily wherever I can find a place.”[b]
10 So Micah replied, “Come live with me! You can be a spiritual father[c] to me, as well as a priest. I’ll pay you ten silver coins a year, plus a priestly uniform[d] and an income.” So the descendant of Levi moved in.
