Judges 17:8-13 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

8. And the man goeth out of the city, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah, to sojourn where he doth find, and cometh to the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, to work his way.

9. And Micah saith to him, `Whence comest thou?' and he saith unto him, `A Levite [am] I, of Beth-Lehem-Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I do find.'

10. And Micah saith to him, `Dwell with me, and be to me for a father and for a priest, and I give to thee ten silverlings for the days, and a suit of garments, and thy sustenance;' and the Levite goeth [in].

11. And the Levite is willing to dwell with the man, and the young man is to him as one of his sons.

12. And Micah consecrateth the hand of the Levite, and the young man is to him for a priest, and he is in the house of Micah,

13. and Micah saith, `Now I have known that Jehovah doth good to me, for the Levite hath been to me for a priest.'
