¶ The .xvij. Chapter.
¶ Of Micah whose mother made hym an
Idoll of syluer.
A There was a man in mo&ubar;t Ephra&ibar;
named Micah, and he sayde vnto
hys mother: the leuen hundreth
syluerlynges that were taken fr&obar;
the, aboute which thou cursedst, ∧
spakest it in myne eares. Behold, the syluer
is with me, I toke it awaye. And hys mother
sayde: blessed be þu; my sonne, in þe; Lorde.
And when he had restored the leuen h&ubar;dred
syluerlynges to his mother agayne, his mother
sayde: I vowed the syluer vnto þe; Lord
of myne hande for the my sonne: that þu; shuldest
make a grauen ymage and an ymage of
metall.
B Now therfore, I wyll geue it the agayne.
And when he restored the moneye againe
vnto his mother, his mother toke two
hundreth syluerlynges, and gaue them to a
goldsmyth, which made therof a grau&ebar; image,
and a ymage of metall, and it was in the
house of Micah. And the man Micah had a
temple of goddes, and made an Ephod and
Theraphim, (That is to saye, a garment for the
preste, and Idols.) and fylled the hande of one of
hys sonnes which became hys preaste. note
C In
those dayes there was no kyng &ibar; Israel, but
euery man dyd that which was good in hys
awne eyes.
And there was a yonge m&abar; out of Bethlehem
Iuda, of the kynred of Iuda: which
yonge man was a Leuite, ∧ soiourned ther.
And the man departed oute of the cytie of
Bethleh&ebar; Iuda, to go dwel where he coulde
fynde a c&obar;ueni&ebar;t place. And he came to mo&ubar;t
Ephraim, to the house of Micah as he iourneyed.
And Micah sayde vnto hym. whence
commest thou?
D The leuite answered hym. I
am of Bethleh&ebar; Iuda, ∧ go to dwell where
I maye fynde a place (and where I maye spye it
to be for my profyt.) And Micah sayd agayne vnto
him: dwell with me, and be vnto me a father
and a preste. And I wyll geue the ten
syluerlynges by yeare, two garmentes, and
thy meate and dryncke.
And the Leuite was content to dwell &wt;
the man, and was vnto hym as one of hys
awne sonnes. And Micah c&obar;secrated þe; h&abar;de
of the leuite, and the yonge man became his
preste, and was &ibar; the house of Micah. Then
sayde Micah: now I am sure, that the Lord
wyll be good vnto me, seynge: I haue a leuyte
to my preste.
