Judges 17:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 17:7

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.

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!”
