8 And 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.
9 And Micah said unto him, “From whence comest thou?” And he said unto him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.”
10 And Micah said unto him, “Dwell with me and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel and thy victuals.” So the Levite went in.
