Compare all
10 Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, aand be a bfather and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your sustenance.” So the Levite went in.  
11 Then the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became like one of his sons to him.
12 So Micah aconsecrated the Levite, and the young man bbecame his priest, and lived in the house of Micah.  
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will be good to me, since I have a Levite as apriest!”

<< Judges 17:11   Judges 17:13 >>


Judges 17:12

Consecrated - To be a priest, for which he thought a consecration necessary, as knowing the Levites were no less excluded from the priest's office than the people. The young man - Instead of his son, whom he had consecrated, but now seems to restrain him from the exercise of that office, and to devolve it wholly upon the Levite, who was nearer akin to it.
