Micah Hires a Wandering Levite

Judges 17:7-13
7
There was a young man from Beit-Lechem in Y'hudah, from the family of Y'hudah, who was a Levi. He had been staying
8
in Beit-Lechem, but he left there to find another place to live and came to the hills of Efrayim, where eventually he made his way to the house of Mikhah.
9
Mikhah asked him, "Where are you coming from?" He answered, "I am a Levi from Beit-Lechem in Y'hudah, and I'm looking for a place to live."
10
Mikhah replied, "Stay with me, and be a father and cohen for me; I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, in addition to your clothing and food." So the Levi went in
11
and agreed to stay with the man; the young man became like one of his sons.
12
After Mikhah consecrated the Levi, the young man became his cohen and stayed there in Mikhah's house.
13
Mikhah said, "Now I know that ADONAI will treat me well, because I have a Levi for a cohen.
