Judges 17:3-5

3And when he had returnedH7725H853 the elevenH505 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701 to his motherH517, she saidH559, “I wholly dedicateH6942 the silverH3701 to the LORDH3068H3027 for my son’s benefitH1121, to makeH6213 a graven imageH6459 and a molten idolH4541. Therefore I will nowH6258 return itH7725 to you.”

4So he returnedH7725 the silverH3701 to his motherH517, and sheH517 tookH3947 two hundredH3967 shekels of silverH37011 and gave themH5414 to a silversmithH6884, who made themH6213 into a graven imageH6459 and a molten idolH4541. And they were placedH1961 in the houseH1004 of MicahH4321.

5Now this manH376 MicahH4318 had a shrineH1004H430, and he madeH6213 an ephodH646 and some household idolsH8655, and ordainedH43902 oneH259 of his sonsH1121 as his priestH3548.
