Jueces 17:8 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 17:8

And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah,
to sojourn where he could find a place Either being a man that had a rambling head, and of an unsettled mind, and could not easily fix any where; or else there being no supreme magistrate, to take care that the Levites had their due maintenance, for which there was a sufficient provision made by law; and the people being negligent of paying their tithes, there being none to oblige them to it, and they indifferent to the true worship of God, and prone to idolatry; this man was obliged to go abroad, and seek for a livelihood where he could get it, and sojourn in a place the most convenient for him:

and he came to Mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed:
not with a design to stay there, but called by the way, having heard perhaps that Micah was both a wealthy and an hospitable man, and he also might have heard of the new form of worship he had set up in his house.

Jueces 17:8 In-Context

6 En esos días, Israel no tenía rey; cada uno hacía lo que le parecía correcto según su propio criterio.
7 Cierto día llegó a la región un joven levita que vivía en Belén de Judá.
8 Había salido de Belén en busca de otro lugar donde vivir y, viajando, llegó a la zona montañosa de Efraín. Mientras estaba de paso, se detuvo por casualidad en la casa de Micaía.
9 —¿De dónde vienes? —le preguntó Micaía.
Él contestó:
—Soy un levita de Belén de Judá, y busco un lugar para vivir.
10 —Quédate aquí, conmigo —le dijo Micaía—, y podrás ser un padre y sacerdote para mí. Te daré diez piezas
de plata al año, además de una muda de ropa y comida.
