5 The man Micah had a ashrine, and made an bephod and chousehold idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 aIn those days there was no king in Israel; beveryone did what was right in his own eyes.
7 Now there was a young man from aBethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah; he was a Levite, and bwas staying there.
8 The man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find a place. Then he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9 And Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” So he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am on my way to find a place to stay.”
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.
