Berean Standard Bible
And
there
is
a man of
the hill -
country of Ephraim ,
and
his
name
`is'
Micah,
Now
a man named
Micah
from
the hill country of Ephraim
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.'
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 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
. '
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 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.
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.
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 ;
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 .
in those days there is
no king in Israel ,
each
that
which
is
right in his own eyes doth
.
In those days there was
no king in Israel ;
everyone
did
what
was
right in his own eyes.
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
.
And there was
a young Levite
from
Bethlehem
in
Judah who
had
been
residing
within
the clan
of Judah.
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
.
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
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. '
“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, `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 '.
“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 the
Levite
is
willing
to dwell
with the
man
, and the young man is
to him
as
one
of
his
sons
.
and agreed
to stay
with him
, and the young man became
like
a
son
to Micah
.
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,
Micah ordained
the Levite, and the young man became
his
priest and lived
in his
house .
and
Micah saith
, `
Now I have
known
that Jehovah
doth
good to me, for
the
Levite
hath
been
to
me
for
a priest. '
Then
Micah said
, “
Now I know
that the
LORD
will
be
good to me, because
a Levite
has
become
my
priest. ”
