Judges 17:7-13

At the same time, there was a young man from the priestly tribe of Levi living in Bethlehem in Judah. He left there to search for another place to live. On his journey, he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim. Micah asked him, “Where are you from?” “I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,” he said, “and I’m looking for a place to live.” “Live here with me,” Micah said to him. “Be my father and priest, and I’ll pay you ten shekels of silver a year and provide your clothes and your food.” So the Levite agreed to move in with him and the young man became like one of his sons. Then Micah ordained the young Levite as his priest, and he lived in his house. And Micah declared, “Now I know that YAHWEH will bless me and prosper me, since a Levite now serves as my priest.”
