Judges 17

1And there was a manH376 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, whoseH376 nameH8034 was MicahH4319. 2And he saidH559 unto his motherH517, The eleven hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701 that were takenH3947 from thee, aboutH3947 whichH834 thou didst utter a curseH1288, and didst also speakH559 it in mine earsH241, beholdH2009, the silverH3701 is with meH589; I tookH3947 it. And his motherH517 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be my sonH1121 of the LORDH3068. 3And he restoredH7725 the eleven hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701 to his motherH517, and his motherH517 saidH559, I verily dedicateH6942 the silverH3701 unto the LORDH3068 from my handH3027 for my sonH1121, to makeH6213 a gravenH6459 imageH6459 and a molten imageH6459: nowH6258 therefore I will restoreH7725 it unto thee. 4And when he restoredH7725 the moneyH3701 unto his motherH517, his motherH517 tookH3947 twoH3947 hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701, and gaveH5414 them to the founder, who madeH6213 thereof a gravenH6459 imageH6459 and a molten imageH6459: and it was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4319. 5And the manH376 MicahH4318 had an houseH1004 of godsH430, and he madeH6213 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and consecrated one of his sonsH1121, who becameH1961 his priestH3548. 6In thoseH376 daysH3117 there was noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: everyH376 manH376 didH6213 that whichH5869 was rightH3477 in his ownH376 eyesH5869. 7And there was a youngH5288 manH5288 outH8033 of Beth-lehem-judah, of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who was a LeviteH3881, and he sojourned there. 8And the manH376 departedH935 outH4672 of the cityH5892, outH4672 of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn whereH834 he couldH376 findH4672 a placeH1004: and he cameH935 to the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, as he journeyed. 9And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, Whence comest thou? And he saidH559 unto him, I am a LeviteH3881 of Beth-lehem-judah, and I goH1980 to sojourn whereH834 I may findH4672 a placeH935. 10And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, DwellH3427 with meH5414, and be unto meH5414 a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 pieces of silverH3701 by the yearH3117, and a suitH6187 of apparel, and thy victuals. SoH1961 the LeviteH3881 wentH1961 in. 11And the LeviteH3881 was content to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the youngH5288 manH376 was unto him as one of his sonsH1121. 12And MicahH4318 consecrated the LeviteH3881, and the youngH5288 manH5288 becameH1961 his priestH3548, and was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318. 13Then saidH559 MicahH4318, NowH6258 knowH3045 I that the LORDH3068 will doH3190 meH1961 goodH3190, seeingH3588 I have a LeviteH3881 to my priestH3548.
