uW Translation Notes:

וַֽ⁠יְהִי אִ֥ישׁ מֵֽ⁠הַר אֶפְרָ֖יִם וּ⁠שְׁמ֥⁠וֹ מִיכָֽיְהוּ

and=he/it_was (a)_man from=hill Efrayim and=his/its=name Mīkāh

The author is using this sentence to introduce Micah as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:1–21:25 These two epilogues (chs 17–18 and chs 19–21) attest that inspired but unstructured leadership cannot endure. During the relentless march toward social disintegration and civil war, the refrain, “In those days Israel had no king,” occurs four times, and “all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes” is added twice (17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25). The era of inspired leadership spiraled downward and culminated in chaos. Something was clearly missing.

17:1 Micah is the short form of a name that means “Who is like the Lord?” The name highlights the contrast between the Lord and a carved image or cast idol.
• The hill country of Ephraim was a natural gathering place in central Israel (17:7-8; 18:2, 13; 19:1, 16).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
