Jueces 17:9 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 17:9

And Micah said unto him, whence comest thou?
&c.] For as he might ask for a meal, or for a night's lodging, it was but natural to put such a question to him, as from whence he came, and what was his business in these parts? or whither he was going?

and he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah;
the tribe he was of was Levi, and so a Levite by tribe and office, and the place he came last from, and where he had sojourned awhile, was Bethlehem, a city in the tribe of Judah:

and I go to sojourn where I may find a place;
the most convenient to abide in, where he could get a livelihood.

Jueces 17:9 In-Context

7 Un joven levita de Belén de Judá, que era forastero y de la tribu de Judá,
8 salió de aquella ciudad en busca de algún otro lugar donde vivir. En el curso de su viaje llegó a la casa de Micaías en la región montañosa de Efraín.
9 —¿De dónde vienes? —le preguntó Micaías.—Soy levita, de Belén de Judá —contestó él—, y estoy buscando un lugar donde vivir.
10 —Vive conmigo —le propuso Micaías—, y sé mi padre y sacerdote; yo te daré diez monedas de plata al año, además de ropa y comida.
11 El joven levita aceptó quedarse a vivir con él, y fue para Micaías como uno de sus hijos.
