Jubilee Bible 2000
9 And Micah said unto him, From where hast thou come? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem of Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10 Then Micah said unto him, Dwell with me and be a father and a priest unto me, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year and the ordinary apparel and thy food. So the Levite went in.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.

“I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,(A)” he said, “and I’m looking for a place to stay.”
