⁸ He left Bethlehem to look for another place to live, and ·on his way [or to carry on his vocation] he came to Micah’s house in the ·mountains [hill country] of Ephraim. ⁹ Micah asked him, “Where are you from?”

He answered, “I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I’m looking for a place to live.”

¹⁰ Micah said to him, “Live with me and be my father [^Cmeaning an advisor or counselor; Gen. 45:8] and my priest. I will give you ·four ounces [^Lten pieces] of silver each year and clothes and food.” So the Levite went in.
