Judges 17:9-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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

10. Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.

11. The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

12. So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in the house of Micah.
