Book 07 : JUDGES - Chapter 017
017:001
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of
silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst,
and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with
me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the
LORD, my son
017:002
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver
to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the
silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven
image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto
thee
017:003
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took
two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder,
who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they
were in the house of Micah
017:004
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and
teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his
priest
017:005
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did
that which was right in his own eyes
017:006
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family
of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there
017:007
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to
sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount
Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed
017:008
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto
him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn
where I may find a place
017:009
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a
father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of
silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals.
So the Levite went in
017:010
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the
young man was unto him as one of his sons
017:011
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his
priest, and was in the house of Micah
017:012
Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good,
seeing I have a Levite to my priest
