Judges 17:7-13 - Micah Hires A Professional

7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-judah of the family of Judah, and he was a Levite. And he stayed there. 8 And the man went out of the city from Bethlehem-judah to live where he could find a place. And he came to Mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

9 And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-judah, and I go to live where I may find a place.

10 And Micah said to him, Live with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of clothes, and your food. And the Levite went in. 11 And the Levite was content to live with the man, and the young man was to him as one of his sons. 12 And Micah consecrated the Levite. And the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then Micah said, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, since I have a Levite as my priest.
