Judges 17:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 ¶ There was also a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, [a]of the family of Judah: who was a Levite, and sojourned there.
8 And the man departed out of the city, even out of Bethlehem Judah, to dwell where he could find a place: and as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah.
9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And the Levite answered him, [b]I come from Bethlehem Judah, and go to dwell where I may find a place.
