Judges 17 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
7 There was also an other young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: & he was a Levite, and dwelt there.
8 And going forth out of the city of Bethlehem, he would sojourn wheresoever he should find it commodious for him. And when he was come into mount Ephraim, making his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,
9 he was demanded of him whence he came. Who answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I go to dwell where I shall be able, and shall perceive it to be profitable for me.
10 And Michas said: Abide with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten silver pieces, and a double livery, and the things that be necessary for victual.
11 He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.
12 And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man for a Priest with him, saying:
13 Now I know that God will do me good having a Priest of the Levitical kind.
