Bible verse
Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
Judges 17:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Judges 17.
8 This man left the city of Bethlehem in Judah to settle where he could find a place. And as he traveled, he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 “Where are you from?” Micah asked him. “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,” he replied, “and I am on my way to settle wherever I can find a place.”
10 “Stay with me,” Micah said to him, “and be my father and priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your provisions.” So the Levite went in
11 and agreed to stay with him, and the young man became like a son to Micah.
12 Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, because a Levite has become my priest.”
