    7And there was a young man out of Bethlehem in Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he stayed there.

    8And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

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

    10And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of clothing, and your food. So the Levite went in.
