1 # And there was a man <0376> of mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, whose name <08034> was Micah <04321>.
2 And he said <0559> (8799) unto his mother <0517>, The eleven hundred <0505> <03967> shekels of silver <03701> that were taken <03947> (8795) from thee, about which thou cursedst <0422> (8804), and spakest <0559> (8804) of also in mine ears <0241>, behold, the silver <03701> is with me; I took <03947> (8804) it. And his mother <0517> said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be thou of the LORD <03068>, my son <01121>.
3 And when he had restored <07725> (8686) the eleven hundred <0505> <03967> shekels of silver <03701> to his mother <0517>, his mother <0517> said <0559> (8799), I had wholly <06942> (8687) dedicated <06942> (8689) the silver <03701> unto the LORD <03068> from my hand <03027> for my son <01121>, to make <06213> (8800) a graven image <06459> and a molten image <04541>: now therefore I will restore <07725> (8686) it unto thee.
4 Yet he restored <07725> (8686) the money <03701> unto his mother <0517>; and his mother <0517> took <03947> (8799) two hundred <03967> shekels of silver <03701>, and gave <05414> (8799) them to the founder <06884> (8802), who made <06213> (8799) thereof a graven image <06459> and a molten image <04541>: and they were in the house <01004> of Micah <04321>.
5 And the man <0376> Micah <04318> had an house <01004> of gods <0430>, and made <06213> (8799) an ephod <0646>, and teraphim <08655>, and consecrated <04390> (8762) <03027> one <0259> of his sons <01121>, who became his priest <03548>.
6 In those days <03117> there was no king <04428> in Israel <03478>, but every man <0376> did <06213> (8799) that which was right <03477> in his own eyes <05869>.
7 # And there was a young man <05288> out of Bethlehemjudah <01035> <03063> of the family <04940> of Judah <03063> , who was a Levite <03881>, and he sojourned <01481> (8804) there.
8 And the man <0376> departed <03212> (8799) out of the city <05892> from Bethlehemjudah <01035> <03063> to sojourn <01481> (8800) where he could find <04672> (8799) a place: and he came <0935> (8799) to mount <02022> Ephraim <0669> to the house <01004> of Micah <04318>, as he journeyed <06213> (8800) <01870>.
9 And Micah <04318> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Whence <0370> comest <0935> (8799) thou? And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, I am a Levite <03881> of Bethlehemjudah <01035> <03063>, and I go <01980> (8802) to sojourn <01481> (8800) where I may find <04672> (8799) a place.
10 And Micah <04318> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Dwell <03427> (8798) with me, and be unto me a father <01> and a priest <03548>, and I will give <05414> (8799) thee ten <06235> shekels of silver <03701> by the year <03117> , and a suit <06187> of apparel <0899>, and thy victuals <04241>. So the Levite <03881> went in <03212> (8799).
11 And the Levite <03881> was content <02974> (8686) to dwell <03427> (8800) with the man <0376>; and the young man <05288> was unto him as one <0259> of his sons <01121>.
12 And Micah <04318> consecrated <04390> (8762) <03027> the Levite <03881>; and the young man <05288> became his priest <03548>, and was in the house <01004> of Micah <04318>.
13 Then said <0559> (8799) Micah <04318>, Now know <03045> (8804) I that the LORD <03068> will do me good <03190> (8686), seeing I have a Levite <03881> to my priest <03548>.
