Judges 17 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Micah’s Idolatry

Now there was a man^H376 of the hill^H2022 country^H2022 of Ephraim^H669 whose name^H8034 was Micah^H4321.

Jdg 17:2And he said to his mother, “The 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse and also spoke it in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “Blessed be my son by the LORD.”

Jdg 17:3

Jdg 17:3He then returned the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I wholly consecrate the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son to make a carved image and a cast metal image; so now I will return [fn]them to you.”

Jdg 17:4

Jdg 17:4So when he returned the silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, who made [fn]them into a carved image and a cast metal image, and [fn]they were in the house of Micah.

Jdg 17:5

Jdg 17:5And the man Micah had a [fn]shrine and he made an ephod and [fn]household idols, and [fn]consecrated one of his sons, so that he might become his priest.

Jdg 17:6

Jdg 17:6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Jdg 17:7

Now there was a young^H5288 man^H5288 from Bethlehem^H1035 in Judah^H3063, of the family^H4940 of Judah^H3063, who^H1931 was a Levite^H3881; and he was [fn]staying^H1481 there^H8033.

Jdg 17:8

Jdg 17:8Then the man left the city, Bethlehem in Judah, to [fn]stay wherever he would find a place; and as he made his journey, he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

Jdg 17:9

Jdg 17:9Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” And he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to [fn]stay wherever I may find a place.”

Jdg 17:10

Jdg 17:10Micah then said to him, “Stay with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a supply of clothing, and your sustenance.” So the Levite went in.

Jdg 17:11

Jdg 17:11The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

Jdg 17:12

Jdg 17:12So Micah [fn]consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and [fn]lived in the house of Micah.

Jdg 17:13

Jdg 17:13Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, because I have a Levite as a priest.”
