Judges 17:7

And there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, from the family of Judah, and he was a Levite, and he was staying there.
[How could a Levite (a person from the tribe of Levi) come from the tribe of Judah? The reason may be that Levites were adopted into families in order to have their "own" priest. Some examples of this are given here in the Book of Judges, see verse 11 and Judg. 18:19.]
