CHAP. XVII.
1 Of the money that Micah first stole, then restored,
his mother maker images, 5 and he
ornaments for them. 7 He hireth a Levite to
be his priest.
1 And there was a man of mount
Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 And he said to his mother, The
eleven hundred shekels of silver that
were taken from thee, about which thou
didst curse, and speak of also in my ears,
behold, the silver is with me; I took it.
And his mother said, Blessed be thou of
the Lord, my son.
3 And when he had restored the eleven
hundred shekels of silver to his mother,
his mother said, I had wholly dedicated
the silver to the Lord from my hand for
my son, to make a graven image and a
molten image: now therefore I will restore
it to thee.
4 Yet he restored the money to his
mother; and his mother took two hundred
shekels of silver, and gave them to
the founder, who made of it a graven
image and a molten image: and they
were in the house of Micah.
5 And the man Micah had a house
of gods, and made an note ephod, and note teraphim,
and note consecrated one of his sons,
who became his priest.
6 noteIn those days there was no king in
Israel, but every man did that which was
right in his own eyes.
7 ¶2; And there was a young man out
of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of
Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned
there.
8 And the man departed out of the
city from Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn
where he could find a place: and he
came to mount Ephraim to the house of
Micah, note as he journeyed.
9 And Micah said to him, Whence
comest thou? And he said to him, I am
-- --

a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go
to sojourn where I may find a place.
10 And Micah said to him, Dwell
with me, and be to me a father and a
priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of
silver by the year, and note note a suit of apparel,
and thy victuals. So the Levite
went in.
11 And the Levite was content to
dwell with the man; and the young man
was to him as one of his sons.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite;
and the young man became his
priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Then said Micah, Now I know that
the Lord will do me good, seeing I have
a Levite for my priest.
