Judges 17

1And there was a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, whose nameH8034 was MicahH4321. 2And he saidH559 to his motherH517, The eleven hundredH505H3967 shekels of silverH3701 that were takenH3947 from thee, about which thou didst curseH422, and spokeH559 of also in my earsH241, behold, the silverH3701 is with me; I tookH3947 it. And his motherH517 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068, my sonH1121. 3And when he had restoredH7725 the eleven hundredH505H3967 shekels of silverH3701 to his motherH517, his motherH517 saidH559, I had whollyH6942 dedicatedH6942 the silverH3701 to the LORDH3068 from my handH3027 for my sonH1121, to makeH6213 a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: now therefore I will restoreH7725 it to thee. 4Yet he restoredH7725 the moneyH3701 to his motherH517; and his motherH517 tookH3947 two hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and gaveH5414 them to the silversmithH6884, who madeH6213 of it a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: and they were in the houseH1004 of MicahH4321. 5And the manH376 MicahH4318 had an houseH1004 of godsH430, and madeH6213 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and consecratedH4390H3027 oneH259 of his sonsH1121, who became his priestH3548.1 6In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, but every manH376 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.

7And there was a young manH5288 out of BethlehemjudahH1035H3063 of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who was a LeviteH3881, and he sojournedH1481 there. 8And the manH376 departedH3212 out of the cityH5892 from BethlehemjudahH1035H3063 to sojournH1481 where he could findH4672 a place : and he cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, as he journeyedH6213H1870.2 9And MicahH4318 saidH559 to him, WhereH370 do you comeH935 from? And he saidH559 to him, I am a LeviteH3881 of BethlehemjudahH1035H3063, and I goH1980 to sojournH1481 where I may findH4672 a place . 10And MicahH4318 saidH559 to him, DwellH3427 with me, and be to me a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701 by the yearH3117, and a suitH6187 of apparelH899, and thy sustenanceH4241. So the LeviteH3881 went inH3212.3 11And the LeviteH3881 was contentH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the young manH5288 was to him as oneH259 of his sonsH1121. 12And MicahH4318 consecratedH4390H3027 the LeviteH3881; and the young manH5288 became his priestH3548, and was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318. 13Then saidH559 MicahH4318, Now I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 will do me goodH3190, seeing I have a LeviteH3881 for my priestH3548.
