Judges 17:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ And Micah said to him, “From where do you come?” And he said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place.” ¹⁰ And Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, and a suit of apparel, and your living.”^{[a] 11} And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became to him like one of his sons.
