Giudici 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.

6 In quel tempo non v’era re in Israele; ognuno faceva quel che gli pareva meglio.
7 Or v’era un giovine di Bethlehem di Giuda, della famiglia di Giuda, il quale era un Levita, e abitava quivi.
8 Quest’uomo si partì dalla città di Bethlehem di Giuda, per stabilirsi in luogo che trovasse adatto; e, cammin facendo, giunse nella contrada montuosa di Efraim, alla casa di Mica.
9 Mica gli chiese: "Donde vieni?" Quello gli rispose: "Sono un Levita di Bethlehem di Giuda, e vado a stabilirmi dove troverò un luogo adatto".
10 Mica gli disse: "Rimani con me, e siimi padre e sacerdote; ti darò dieci sicli d’argento all’anno, un vestito completo, e il vitto". E il Levita entrò.
