Judges 18:20
"They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”"
Key Reflection
This passage highlights the rejection and alienation of the Levite by the Danites, who seek his leadership but offer him a position that undermines his priestly role. Their proposition implies a desire for someone to lead them spiritually without adhering strictly to the established religious structures and hierarchy.
