Judges 17:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ He left Bethlehem to look for another place to live. As he was traveling, he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of the land of Ephraim. ⁹ Micah asked him, “Where have you come from?”

The young man answered, “I am a Levite from the city of Bethlehem in Judah. I am looking for a place to live.”

¹⁰ Then Micah said to him, “Live with me. Be my father and my priest. I will give you 4 ounces^[a] of silver each year. I will also give you clothes and food.”

The Levite did what Micah asked.
