7 E havia um jovem de Belém de Judá, da tribo de Judá, o qual era levita; e peregrinava ali.

8 Este homem se havia partido da cidade de Belém de Judá, para ir a viver de onde achasse; e chegando ao monte de Efraim, veio à casa de Mica, para dali fazer seu caminho.

9 E Mica lhe disse: De onde vens? E o levita lhe respondeu: Sou de Belém de Judá, e vou a viver de onde achar.

10 Então Mica lhe disse: Fica-te em minha casa, e me serás em lugar de pai e sacerdote; e eu te darei dez siclos de prata por ano, e o ordinário de vestimentas, e tua comida. E o levita ficou.

11 Acordou, pois, o levita em morar com aquele homem, e ele o tinha como a um de seus filhos.
