The young Levite of Bethlehem Judah becomes Micah’s priest

유다 베들레헴의 레위인 소년이 미가의 제사장이 됨

Judges 17:7–13: there is a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who is a Levite; and he lives there. The man departs out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he can find a place, and he comes to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he travels. Micah says to him, “Where did you come from?” He says to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.” Micah says to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite goes in. The Levite is content to dwell with the man; and the young man is to him as one of his sons. Micah consecrates the Levite, and the young man becomes his priest, and is in the house of Micah. Then Micah says, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
