Judges 17 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Jdg 17:1There was a man of the hill-country of Efrayim, whose name was Mikhah.
Jdg 17:2He said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you did utter a curse, and did also speak it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. His mother said, Blessed be my son of the LORD.
Jdg 17:3He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I most assuredly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to you.
Jdg 17:4When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it an engraved image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Mikhah.
Jdg 17:5The man Mikhah had a house of gods, and he made an efod, and terafim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his Kohen.
Jdg 17:6In those days there was no king in Yisra'el: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Jdg 17:7There was a young man out of Beit-Lechem-Yehudah, of the family of Yehudah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.
Jdg 17:8The man departed out of the city, out of Beit-Lechem-Yehudah, to sojourn where he could find a place, and he came to the hill-country of Efrayim to the house of Mikhah, as he traveled.
Jdg 17:9Mikhah said to him, Whence come you? He said to him, I am a Levite of Beit-Lechem-Yehudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
Jdg 17:10Mikhah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a Kohen, and I will give you ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of clothing, and your victuals. So the Levite went in.
Jdg 17:11The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Jdg 17:12Mikhah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his Kohen, and was in the house of Mikhah.
Jdg 17:13Then said Mikhah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my Kohen.
