[1] There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. [2] He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.”His mother said, “May Yahweh bless my son!” [3] He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to Yahweh from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.” [4] When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah. [5] The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim,ⓘ and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. [6] In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes. [7] There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there. [8] The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled. [9] Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?”He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.” [10] Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in. [11] The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. [12] Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. [13] Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”

[1] And there was H1961 a man H376 of mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 whose name H8034 was Micah. H4321 [2] And he said H559 unto his mother, H517 The eleven hundred H505 H3967 shekels of silver H3701 that H834 were taken H3947 from thee, about which thou H859 cursedst, H422 and spakest H559 of also H1571 in mine ears, H241 behold, H2009 the silver H3701 is with me; H854 I H589 took it. H3947 And his mother H517 said, H559 Blessed H1288 be thou of the Lord, H3068 my son. H1121 [3] And when he had restored H7725 H853 the eleven hundred H505 H3967 shekels of silver H3701 to his mother, H517 his mother H517 said, H559 I had wholly H6942 dedicated H6942 H853 the silver H3701 unto the Lord H3068 from my hand H3027 for my son, H1121 to make H6213 a graven image H6459 and a molten image: H4541 now therefore H6258 I will restore it H7725 unto thee. [4] Yet he restored H7725 H853 the money H3701 unto his mother; H517 and his mother H517 took H3947 two hundred H3967 shekels of silver, H3701 and gave them H5414 to the founder, H6884 who made thereof H6213 a graven image H6459 and a molten image: H4541 and they were H1961 in the house H1004 of Micah. H4321 [5] And the man H376 Micah H4318 had an house H1004 of gods, H430 and made H6213 an ephod, H646 and teraphim, H8655 and consecrated H4390§ H853 H3027 one H259 of his sons, H1121 who became H1961 his priest. H3548 [6] In those H1992 days H3117 there was no H369 king H4428 in Israel, H3478 but every man H376 did H6213 that which was right H3477 in his own eyes. H5869 [7] And there was H1961 a young man H5288 out of Beth-lehem-judah H1035 H3063 of the family H4940 of Judah, H3063 who H1931 was a Levite, H3881 and he H1931 sojourned H1481 there. H8033 [8] And the man H376 departed H3212 out of the city H5892 from Beth-lehem-judah H1035 H3063 to sojourn H1481 where H834 he could find H4672 a place: and he came H935 to mount H2022 Ephraim H669 to H5704 the house H1004 of Micah, H4318 as he journeyed. H6213§ H1870 [9] And Micah H4318 said H559 unto him, Whence H370 comest thou? H935 And he said H559 unto him, H413 I H595 am a Levite H3881 of Beth-lehem-judah, H1035 H3063 and I H595 go H1980 to sojourn H1481 where H834 I may find H4672 a place. [10] And Micah H4318 said H559 unto him, Dwell H3427 with me, H5978 and be H1961 unto me a father H1 and a priest, H3548 and I H595 will give H5414 thee ten H6235 shekels of silver H3701 by the year, H3117 and a suit H6187 of apparel, H899§ and thy victuals. H4241 So the Levite H3881 went in. H3212 [11] And the Levite H3881 was content H2974 to dwell H3427 with H854 the man; H376 and the young man H5288 was H1961 unto him as one H259 of his sons. H1121 [12] And Micah H4318 consecrated H4390 H853 H3027 the Levite; H3881 and the young man H5288 became H1961 his priest, H3548 and was H1961 in the house H1004 of Micah. H4318 [13] Then said H559 Micah, H4318 Now H6258 know I H3045 that the H3588 Lord H3068 will do me good, H3190 seeing H3588 I have H1961 a Levite H3881 to my priest. H3548
