Jdg 17:2And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver which thou tookest to thyself, and about which thou cursedst me, and spokest in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed be my son of the Lord.
Jdg 17:3And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten image, and now I will restore it to thee.
Jdg 17:4But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave [fn]them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
Jdg 17:5And the house of Michaias was to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
Jdg 17:8And the man departed from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
Jdg 17:10And Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the [fn]year, and a change of raiment, and thy living.
