Now
a man named
Micah
from
the hill country of Ephraim
And
there
is
a man of
the hill -
country of Ephraim ,
and
his
name
`is'
Micah,
said
to his mother, “
The eleven hundred shekels
of
silver
that
were
taken from
you
and about
which I
heard
you
utter
a
curse—I
have
the silver here
with me ;
I took
it .”
Then
his mother said
, “
Blessed be
my son by
the
LORD!”
and
he
saith
to his mother, `
The eleven hundred silverlings
which
have
been
taken of
thine,
and `of
which '
thou
hast
sworn,
and
also
spoken
in
mine
ears;
lo,
the silver `is'
with me ,
I have
taken
it ;'
and
his mother saith
, `
Blessed `is'
my son of
Jehovah.'
And when
he had
returned
the eleven hundred shekels
of
silver
to his mother, she
said
, “
I wholly
dedicate
the silver to the
LORD
for my son’s
benefit
, to make a graven image and a molten idol.
Therefore
I
will
now return
it to you
. ”
And he giveth
back
the eleven hundred silverlings
to his mother, and
his
mother
saith
, `
I had
certainly
sanctified
the silver to Jehovah,
from
my
hand,
for my son
, to make a graven image ,
and a molten image;
and
now ,
I
give
it back
to thee
. '
So
he returned
the silver
to his mother, and she
took
two hundred shekels
of
silver
and gave
them to a silversmith
, who
made
them into
a graven image and a molten idol.
And they
were
placed
in the house of Micah.
And
he giveth
back
the money
to his mother, and his
mother
taketh
two hundred silverlings,
and giveth
them to a refiner
, and
he
maketh
them a graven image ,
and a molten image,
and it
is
in the house of Micah.
Now
this
man Micah had
a shrine
, and he made
an ephod and some
household
idols
, and ordained
one of his sons as
his
priest .
As
to
the
man Micah ,
he
hath
a house
of
gods
, and he maketh
an ephod ,
and teraphim
, and consecrateth
the
hand
of
one of his sons ,
and
he
is
to
him
for
a
priest ;
In those days there was
no king in Israel ;
everyone
did
what
was
right in his own eyes.
in those days there is
no king in Israel ,
each
that
which
is
right in his own eyes doth
.
And there was
a young Levite
from
Bethlehem
in
Judah who
had
been
residing
within
the clan
of Judah.
And there is
a young man
of
Beth-Lehem-
Judah ,
of
the family
of Judah ,
and
he
`is'
a
Levite,
and
he
`is'
a
sojourner
there
.
This
man left
the city of Bethlehem
in
Judah to settle
where he could
find a
place.
And
as
he
traveled
, he
came
to Micah’s
house
in
the hill country of Ephraim.
And
the
man goeth
out
of
the city ,
out
of Beth-Lehem-
Judah ,
to sojourn
where he doth
find, and
cometh
to the hill -
country of Ephraim ,
unto
the
house
of
Micah,
to
work
his
way
.
“Where
are
you
from?”
Micah asked
him .
“I
am
a Levite from
Bethlehem
in
Judah
, ”
he
replied
, “
and I am on
my
way
to settle
wherever
I can
find a
place
. ”
And
Micah saith
to
him ,
`Whence
comest
thou?'
and
he
saith
unto
him,
`
A Levite `am'
I
, of
Beth-Lehem-Judah
, and I am going
to sojourn
where
I do
find. '
“Stay
with
me,”
Micah said
to him, “
and be my
father and priest, and I will
give you
ten shekels
of
silver
per
year
, a suit of clothes
, and your
provisions.”
So
the Levite went
in
And
Micah saith
to him, `Dwell
with
me,
and be to
me
for
a
father and for
a
priest, and I give to
thee
ten silverlings
for
the
days
, and
a suit of garments
, and thy
sustenance;'
and
the Levite goeth
`
in '.
and agreed
to stay
with him
, and the young man became
like
a
son
to Micah
.
And the
Levite
is
willing
to dwell
with the
man
, and the young man is
to him
as
one
of
his
sons
.
Micah ordained
the Levite, and the young man became
his
priest and lived
in his
house .
And
Micah consecrateth
the hand
of
the
Levite, and the young man is
to
him
for
a
priest ,
and he
is
in the
house of
Micah,
Then
Micah said
, “
Now I know
that the
LORD
will
be
good to me, because
a
Levite has
become
my
priest. ”
and
Micah saith
, `
Now I have
known
that Jehovah
doth
good to me, for
the
Levite hath
been
to
me
for
a
priest. '
