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.”
11-12. The Levite agreed and moved in with Micah. The young man fit right in and became one of the family. Micah appointed the young Levite as his priest. This all took place in Micah’s home.
13. Micah said, “Now I know that God will make things go well for me—why, I’ve got a Levite for a priest!”
