1599 Geneva Bible
9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And the Levite answered him, [a]I come from Bethlehem Judah, and go to dwell where I may find a place.
10 Then 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 year, and a suit of apparel, and thy meat and drink. So the Levite went in.
11 And the Levite was [b]content to dwell with the man, and the young man was unto him as one of his own sons.
