Judges 17:9-11
International Standard Version
9 Micah asked him, “Where did you come from?”
He replied, “I’m a descendant of Levi from Bethlehem in Judah, and I’m going to stay temporarily wherever I can find a place.”[a]
10 So Micah replied, “Come live with me! You can be a spiritual father[b] to me, as well as a priest. I’ll pay you ten silver coins a year, plus a priestly uniform[c] and an income.” So the descendant of Levi moved in. 11 The descendant of Levi agreed to live with the man, and the young man became like one of the family.[d]
