1 | There was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. | Jg 10:1 Jsh 15:9 Jsh 17:14-18 |
2 | He 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 Yahweh. | Jg 5:23 Dt 27:16 1Sa 14:24 1Sa 14:28 1Sa 26:19 Ne 13:25 Jer 48:10 Mt 26:74 Ro 9:3 1Co 16:22 |
3 | He restored the eleven hundred [pieces] of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I most assuredly dedicate the silver to Yahweh from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to you. | Jg 17:13 Jg 18:5 Isa 66:3 |
4 | When 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 Micah. | Isa 46:6 Isa 46:7 Jer 10:9 Jer 10:10 |
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. | Jg 18:24 Gn 31:30 Ezr 1:7 Hos 8:14 |
6 | In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. | Jg 18:1 Jg 19:1 Jg 21:3 Jg 21:25 Gn 36:31 Dt 33:5 |
7 | There was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there. | Jg 19:1 Jg 19:2 Gn 35:19 Jsh 19:15 Ru 1:1 Ru 1:2 Mic 5:2 Mt 2:1 Mt 2:5 Mt 2:6 |
8 | The man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find [a place], and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. | Jg 17:11 Ne 13:10 Ne 13:11 |
9 | Micah said to him, Whence come you? He said to him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place]. |
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 by the year, and a suit of clothing, and your victuals. So the Levite went in. | Jg 17:11 Jg 18:19 Gn 45:8 2Ki 6:21 2Ki 8:8 2Ki 8:9 2Ki 13:14 Jb 29:16 Isa 22:21 |
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. | Jg 18:30 Nm 16:5 Nm 16:8-10 1Ki 12:31 1Ki 13:33 1Ki 13:34 |
13 | Then said Micah, Now know I that Yahweh will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. | Pr 14:12 Isa 44:20 Isa 66:3 Isa 66:4 Mt 15:9 Mt 15:13 Jn 16:2 Ac 26:9 Ro 10:2 Ro 10:3 |
