Micah

17There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim named Micah.H376H2022H669H8034H4321 2He said to his mother, "Remember that 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you? I overheard you when you pronounced your curse. Well, I have the money; I stole it. But now I've brought it back to you." His mother said, "GOD bless you, my son!"H559H517H505H3967H3701H3947H422H559H241H3701H3947H517H559H1288H3068H1121 3As he returned the 1,100 silver pieces to his mother, she said, "I had totally consecrated this money to GOD for my son to make a statue, a cast god."H7725H505H3967H3701H517H517H559H6942H6942H3701H3068H3027H1121H6213H6459H4541H7725 4Then she took 200 pieces of the silver and gave it to a sculptor and he cast them into the form of a god.H7725H3701H517H517H3947H3967H3701H5414H6884H6213H6459H4541H1004H4321 5This man, Micah, had a private chapel. He had made an ephod and some teraphim-idols and had ordained one of his sons to be his priest.H376H4318H1004H430H6213H646H8655H4390H3027H259H1121H3548 6In those days there was no king in Israel. People did whatever they felt like doing.H3117H4428H3478H376H6213H3477H5869 7Meanwhile there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah and from a family of Judah. He was a Levite but was a stranger there.H5288H1035H3063H4940H3063H3881H1481 8He left that town, Bethlehem in Judah, seeking his fortune. He got as far as the hill country of Ephraim and showed up at Micah's house.H376H3212H5892H1035H3063H1481H4672H935H2022H669H1004H4318H6213H1870 9Micah asked him, "So where are you from?" He said, "I'm a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I'm on the road, looking for a place to settle down."H4318H559H370H935H559H3881H1035H3063H1980H1481H4672 10Micah said, "Stay here with me. Be my father and priest. I'll pay you ten pieces of silver a year, whatever clothes you need, and your meals."H4318H559H3427H1H3548H5414H6235H3701H3117H6187H899H4241H3881H3212 11The Levite agreed and moved in with Micah. The young man fit right in and became one of the family.H3881H2974H3427H376H5288H259H1121 12Micah appointed the young Levite as his priest. This all took place in Micah's home.H4318H4390H3027H3881H5288H3548H1004H4318 13Micah said, "Now I know that GOD will make things go well for me—why, I've got a Levite for a priest!"H559H4318H3045H3068H3190H3881H3548
