BrLXX Καὶ ὁ οἶκος Μιχαία αὐτῷ οἶκος Θεοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐφὼδ καὶ θαραφίν· καὶ ἐπλήρωσε τὴν χεῖρα ἀπὸ ἑνὸς υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς ἱερέα.

17:5 ephod: See study note on 8:27.
• household idols: Cp. Gen 31:19-32; 2 Kgs 23:24; Zech 10:2. The Bible mocks the inabilities of these personal deities. Micah’s installing one of his sons as his personal priest was triply irregular: The father was meant to be the religious head of the household (Deut 6:7; Job 1:5), only descendants of Aaron were to be priests (Exod 28:1–29:37; 30:30-33; 40:12-15), and priests were for the whole community of Israel, not for individuals or families.
