Judges 17:9-13 New English Translation (NET)

9. Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” He replied, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I am looking for a new place to live.”

10. Micah said to him, “Stay with me. Become my adviser and priest. I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, plus clothes and food.”

11. So the Levite agreed to stay with the man; the young man was like a son to Micah.

12. Micah paid the Levite; the young man became his priest and lived in Micah’s house.

13. Micah said, “Now I know God will make me rich, because I have this Levite as my priest.”
