10. Then Micah said to him, "Live with me. Be my father and priest. I'll give you four ounces of silver a year. I'll also give you clothes and food."
11. So the Levite agreed to live with him. The young man was just like a son to Micah.
12. Then Micah prepared the Levite to serve as his priest. He lived in Micah's house.
