World English Bible Classic
[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 a manH376 of mountH2022 Ephraim,H669 whose nameH8034 [was] Micah.H4321 [2] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto his mother,H517 The eleven hundredH505 [shekels] of silverH3701 that were takenH3947(PualPerf) from thee, about which thou cursedst,H422(QalPerf) and spakestH559(QalPerf) of also in mine ears,H241 behold, the silverH3701 [is] with me; I tookH3947(QalPerf) it. And his motherH517 said,H559(QalImpf) BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be thou] of the Lord,H3068 my son.H1121 [3] And when he had restoredH7725(HiphImpf) the eleven hundredH505 [shekels] of silverH3701 to his mother,H517 his motherH517 said,H559(QalImpf) I had whollyH6942(HiphInf) dedicatedH6942(HiphPerf) the silverH3701 unto the LordH3068 from my handH3027 for my son,H1121 to makeH6213(QalInf) a graven imageH6459 and a molten image:H4541 now therefore I will restoreH7725(HiphImpf) it unto thee. [4] Yet he restoredH7725(HiphImpf) the moneyH3701 unto his mother;H517 and his motherH517 tookH3947(QalImpf) two hundredH3967 [shekels] of silver,H3701 and gaveH5414(QalImpf) them to the founder,H6884(QalActPtc) who madeH6213(QalImpf) thereof a graven imageH6459 and a molten image:H4541 and they were in the houseH1004 of Micah.H4321 [5] And the manH376 MicahH4318 had an houseH1004 of gods,H430 and madeH6213(QalImpf) an ephod,H646 and teraphim,H8655 and consecratedH4390(PielImpf) oneH259 of his sons,H1121 who became his priest.H3548 [6] In those daysH3117 [there was] no kingH4428 in Israel,H3478 [but] every manH376 didH6213(QalImpf) [that which was] rightH3477 in his own eyes.H5869 [7] And there was a young manH5288 out of BethlehemjudahH1035 of the familyH4940 of Judah,H3063 who [was] a Levite,H3881 and he sojournedH1481(QalPerf) there. [8] And the manH376 departedH3212(QalImpf) out of the cityH5892 from BethlehemjudahH1035 to sojournH1481(QalInf) where he could findH4672(QalImpf) [a place]: and he cameH935(QalImpf) to mountH2022 EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of Micah,H4318 as he journeyed.H6213(QalInf) [9] And MicahH4318 saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, WhenceH370 comestH935(QalImpf) thou? And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, I [am] a LeviteH3881 of Bethlehemjudah,H1035 and I goH1980(QalActPtc) to sojournH1481(QalInf) where I may findH4672(QalImpf) [a place]. [10] And MicahH4318 saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, DwellH3427(QalImpv) with me, and be unto me a fatherH1 and a priest,H3548 and I will giveH5414(QalImpf) thee tenH6235 [shekels] of silverH3701 by the year,H3117 and a suitH6187 of apparel,H899 and thy victuals.H4241 So the LeviteH3881 went in.H3212(QalImpf) [11] And the LeviteH3881 was contentH2974(HiphImpf) to dwellH3427(QalInf) with the man;H376 and the young manH5288 was unto him as oneH259 of his sons.H1121 [12] And MicahH4318 consecratedH4390(PielImpf) the Levite;H3881 and the young manH5288 became his priest,H3548 and was in the houseH1004 of Micah.H4318 [13] Then saidH559(QalImpf) Micah,H4318 Now knowH3045(QalPerf) I that the LordH3068 will do me good,H3190(HiphImpf) seeing I have a LeviteH3881 to [my] priest.H3548
