Verse 11 is found in chapter 17 of Judges. A Levite from Bethlehem comes to the hill country of Ephraim, and Micah hires him as his personal priest. Micah believes that the Lord will now prosper him because he has a Levite as priest. The irony is clear: the presence of a member of the priestly tribe does not automatically correct idolatry or make the private shrine legitimate worship. The passage depicts religion constructed according to personal convenience.
