Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

“And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Then said Micah, Now know I that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. ”
“The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Then Micah said, "Now know I that Yahweh will do good to me, since I have a Levite to my priest."”
“So the Levite agreed to stay with the man; the young man was like a son to Micah. Micah paid the Levite; the young man became his priest and lived in Micah’s house. Micah said,“Now I know the LORD will make me rich, because I have this Levite as my priest.””
“He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons. And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him for his priest, saying: Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites. ”
“And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons. And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.”
