And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose
name was Micah. |

| Judges 17:2 |
|
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred
shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest
of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother
said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 17:3 |
|
And when he had restored the eleven hundred
shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver
unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image:
now therefore I will restore it unto thee. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 17:4 |
|
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and
his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who
made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of
Micah. |

And the man Micah had an house of gods, and
made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. |

In those days there was no king in Israel,
but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. |

And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah
of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. |

And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah
to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house
of Micah, as he journeyed. |
|
|
|
| Judges 17:9 |
|
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou?
And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where
I may find a place. |

| Judges 17:10 |
|
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and
be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by
the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. |
|
|
|
| Judges 17:11 |
|
And the Levite was content to dwell with the
man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. |
|
|
|
| Judges 17:12 |
|
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young
man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. |
|

Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will
do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. |
