5. This man, Micah, had a private chapel. He had made an ephod and some teraphim-idols and had ordained one of his sons to be his priest.
6. In those days there was no king in Israel. People did whatever they felt like doing.
9. Micah asked him, “So where are you from?”He said, “I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I’m on the road, looking for a place to settle down.”
10. Micah said, “Stay here with me. Be my father and priest. I’ll pay you ten pieces of silver a year, whatever clothes you need, and your meals.”
13. Micah said, “Now I know that God will make things go well for me—why, I’ve got a Levite for a priest!”
