“And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.”
“And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. ”
“The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.”
“So the Levite agreed to stay with the man; the young man was like a son to Micah.”
“He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.”
“And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.”
“And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.”
Then, departing from the city of Bethlehem, he wished to sojourn wherever he would find it beneficial to himself. And when he had arrived at mount Ephraim, while making the journey, he also turned aside for a little while to the house of Micah.
And he was asked by him where he came from. And he responded: “I am a Levite from Bethlehem of Judah. And I am traveling so that I may live where I am able, if I perceive it to be useful to me.”
And Micah said: “Stay with me. And you shall be to me like a parent and a priest. And I will give to you, each year, ten silver coins, and a double-layered garment, and whatever provisions are necessary.”
He agreed, and he stayed with the man. And he was to him like one of his sons.
And Micah filled his hand, and he had the young man with him as his priest,
saying: “Now I know that God will be good to me, since I have a priest from the stock of the Levites.”
