Judges 17:11 Context
9And Micah said vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, I am a Leuite, of Bethlehem Iudah, and I goe to soiourne where I may finde a place. 10And Micah said vnto him, Dwell with me, and be vnto me a father and a Priest, and I will giue thee ten shekels of siluer by the yeere, and a suite of apparell, and thy victuals. So the Leuite went in. 11And the Leuite was content to dwell with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his sonnes. 12And Micah consecrated the Leuite, and the young man became his Priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will doe me good, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.
