7There was a young man who had been living in Bethlehem in the area where the tribe of Judah lives. He wanted to work as a priest because he was a member of the tribe of Levi.
8So he left Bethlehem to find another place to live and work. He came to Micah's house in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
9Micah asked him, “Where are you from?” He replied, “I come from Bethlehem. I am from the tribe of Levi, and I am looking for a place to live and work as a priest.”
10Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and you can become like a father to counsel me, and be my priest. Each year I will give to you ten pieces of silver and some new clothes. And I will provide food for you.”
11So the young man agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah's own sons.
12Micah appointed him to be a priest, and he lived in Micah's house.
