5. And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and household gods, and ordained one of his sons, who became his priest.
6. In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
7. Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8. And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn where he could find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah.
9. And Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” 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.”
