17 Now there was a man from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Micah. 2 He said to his mother, “The one thousand one hundred silver pieces that were taken from you, about which you swore a curse, and moreover you uttered it in my ears—look! The silver is with me. I took it myself.” His mother said, “Blessed is my son by Yahweh!” 3 Then he brought back the one thousand one hundred silver pieces to his mother and his mother said, “I had entirely consecrated the silver to Yahweh, from my hand to my son in order to make an idol and a cast image. So now, I will return it back to you.” 4 Even so he restored the silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred silver pieces and she gave them to the refiner. He made it into an idol and a cast image, and so it was in the house of Micah. 5 Now the man Micah he had a house of gods. He made an ephod and family idols, and he even filled the hand of one of his sons so he was as a priest for him. 6 In those days there was not a king in Israel. Each man would do whatever was right in his eyes.
7 Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, from the family of Judah, and he was a Levite. He was sojourning there. 8 The man went out of the city, from Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn in whatever place he might find. He came to the hill country of Ephraim as far as the house of Micah as he made his way. 9 Micah said to him, “Where have you come from?” He replied to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn in whatever place I might find.” 10 Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be as a father and as a priest to me. I myself will give to you ten silver pieces for the days, and provision of garments and your sustanance.” So the Levite went in. 11 So the Levite was willing to stay with the man, and the young man became to him as one of his sons. 12 Micah filled the hand of the Levite, and the young man became as a priest for him. So it was in the house of Micah. 13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will cause success for me, because I have this Levite as a priest.”
