Micah paid the Levite; the young man became his priest and lived in Micah’s house.

He told them what Micah had done for him, saying, “He hired me and I became his priest.”

Now this man Micah owned a shrine. He made an ephod and some personal idols and hired one of his sons to serve as a priest.

Micah said, “Now I know God will make me rich, because I have this Levite as my priest.”
