1Now there was a manH376 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 whose nameH8034 was MicahH4321. 2And he saidH559 to his motherH517, “The 1,100H505H3967 pieces of silverH3701 that were takenH3947 from you, about which you utteredH422 aH422 curseH422 and also spoke it in my hearingH241, beholdH2009, the silverH3701 is with me; I tookH3947 it.” And his motherH517 saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be my sonH1121 by the LordH3068.” 3He then returnedH7725 the 1,100H505H3967 pieces of silverH3701 to his motherH517, and his motherH517 saidH559, “I whollyH6942 consecrateH6942 the silverH3701 from my handH3027 to the LordH3068 for my sonH1121 1to makeH6213 a carvedH6459 imageH6459 and a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541; so nowH6258 I will returnH7725 2them to you.” 4So when he returnedH7725 the silverH3701 to his motherH517, his motherH517 tookH3947 two hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701 and gaveH5414 them to the silversmithH6884, who madeH6213 3them into a carvedH6459 imageH6459 and a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541, and 4they were in the houseH1004 of MicahH4321. 5And the manH376 MicahH4318 had a 56shrineH1004H430 and he madeH6213 an 7ephodH646 and 89householdH8655 idolsH8655, and 10consecratedH4390H3027 oneH259 of his sonsH1121, 11so that he might becomeH1961 his priestH3548. 6In thoseH1992 daysH3117 12thereH369 wasH369 noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478; 13everyoneH376 didH6213 whatH3477 wasH3477 rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.
