Judges 17:5–13

⁵And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. ⁶In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

⁷And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. ⁸And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah. ⁹And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place. ¹⁰And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in. ¹¹And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. ¹²And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. ¹³Then said Micah, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, because I have the Levite for priest.
