Chap. XVII.
note
Michas and his mother cause a grauen, and a molten idol to be made of siluer.
5. He maketh one of his sonnes priest for the idol, 10. and for the same purpose
hyreth also a Leuite.
1 There was at that time a certaine man of mount
Ephraim named Michas,
2 who said to his mother:
The thousand and hundred siluer peeces, which thou hadst
separated to thy selfe, and concerning the which thou didst
sweare in my hearing, behold I haue, and they are with me.
To whom she said: Blessed be my sonne to the Lord.
3 He
therfore rendred them to his mother, who had said to him:
I haue consecrated and vowed this siluer to the Lord, that my
sonne may receiue it of my hand, and make note a grauen and
note a molten (god) and now I deliuer that to thee.
4 He rendred
them therfore to his mother: who tooke two hundred
siluer peeces and gaue them to the siluersmith, that he might
make of them a grauen and a molten (god) which was in the
house of Michas.
5 Who separated also therein a litle house
to the God, and made an Ephod, and Theraphim, that is to
say, a priestlie vestiment, and idoles: and he note filled the hand
of one of his sonnes, and he became his priest.
6 In those
daies there was not a king in Israel, but euerie one did that,
which semed right to him self.
7 There was also an other
yong man of Bethelem Iuda, of the kinred therof: and he
was a Leuite, and dwelt there.
8 And going forth out of the
citie of Bethelehem, he would seiourne wheresoeuer he
should find it comodious for him. And when he was come
into mount Ephraim, making his iourney, and had turned
aside a little into the house of Michas,
9 he was demanded
of him whence he came. Who answered: I am a Leuite
of Bethlehem Iuda, and I goe to dwel where I shal be
able, and shal perceiue it to be profitable for me.
10 And
-- --
The tribe of Dan setteth vp idolatrie.
Michas said: Abide with me, and be to me a father and a
priest, and I wil geue thee euerie yeare tenne siluer peeces,
and duble liuerie, and the thinges that be necessarie for
victual.
11 He was content, and abode with the man, and was
vnto him as one of his sonnes.
12 And Michas filled his hand,
and had the yong man for a priest with him, saying:
13 Now
I know that God wil do me good note hauing a priest of the
Leuitical kinde.
