Judges 17:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?”

He answered, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I am going to take up residence wherever I can find a place to stay.”

¹⁰ Micah said to him, “Stay with me! Be a father and a priest to me. I will give you ten shekels of silver a year, an allowance for your clothing, and your food.”

So the Levite went with him. ¹¹ The Levite was willing to stay with the man, and he became like one of his sons.
