CHAP. XVII.
1 Of the money that Micah first stole, then restored,
his mother maketh Images, 5 and
hee ornaments for them. 6 He hireth a Leuite
to be his Priest.
1
And there was a man of
mount Ephraim, whose
name was Micah.
2
And he said vnto his
mother, The eleuen hundred
shekels of siluer, that were taken
from thee, about which thou cursedst,
and spakest of also in mine eares, behold,
the siluer is with mee, I tooke it.
And his mother said, Blessed be thou
of the Lord, my sonne.
3
And when hee had restored the eleuen
hundred shekels of siluer to his mother,
his mother said, I had wholly
dedicated the siluer vnto the Lord,
from my hand, for my sonne, to make
a grauen image and a molten image:
now therefore I will restore it vnto
thee.
4
Yet hee restored the money vnto
his mother, and his mother tooke two
hundred shekels of siluer, and gaue them
to the founder, who made thereof a
grauen image and a molten image, and
they were in the house of Micah.
5
And the man Micah had an house
of gods, and made an note Ephod, and
note Teraphim, and note consecrated one of
his sonnes, who became his Priest.
6
noteIn those dayes there was no king
in Israel, but euery man did that which
was right in his owne eyes.
7
¶ And there was a young man
out of Bethlehem Iudah, of the family
of Iudah, who was a Leuite, and
he soiourned there.
8
And the man departed out of the
-- --
Spies of Dan search Laish,
citie from Bethlehem Iudah, to soiourne
where he could finde a place: and
he came to mount Ephraim to the house
of Micah, note as he iourneyed.
9
And Micah said vnto him, Whence
commest thou? And he said vnto him,
I am a Leuite, of Bethlehem Iudah,
and I goe to soiourne where I may
finde a place.
10
And Micah said vnto him, Dwell
with me, and be vnto me a father and
a Priest, and I will giue thee ten shekels
of siluer by the yeere, and note a suite of apparell,
and thy victuals. So the Leuite
went in.
11
And the Leuite was content to
dwell with the man, and the yong man
was vnto him as one of his sonnes.
12
And Micah consecrated the Leuite,
and the young man became his
Priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13
Then said Micah, Now know
I that the Lord will doe me good,
seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.
