Judges 17

17:1

And there was a man
<0376>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Micah
<04321>_.

17:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his mother
<0517>_,

The eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>

that were taken
<03947> (8795)

from thee, about which thou cursedst
<0422> (8804)_,

and spakest
<0559> (8804)

of also in mine ears
<0241>_,

behold, the silver
<03701>

[is] with me; I took
<03947> (8804)

it. And his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be thou] of the LORD
<03068>_,

my son
<01121>_.

17:3

And when he had restored
<07725> (8686)

the eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>

to his mother
<0517>_,

his mother
<0517>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I had wholly
<06942> (8687)

dedicated
<06942> (8689)

the silver
<03701>

unto the LORD
<03068>

from my hand
<03027>

for my son
<01121>_,

to make
<06213> (8800)

a graven image
<06459>

and a molten image
<04541>_:

now therefore I will restore
<07725> (8686)

it unto thee.

17:4

Yet he restored
<07725> (8686)

the money
<03701>

unto his mother
<0517>_;

and his mother
<0517>

took
<03947> (8799)

two hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them to the founder
<06884> (8802)_,

who made
<06213> (8799)

thereof a graven image
<06459>

and a molten image
<04541>_:

and they were in the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04321>_.

17:5

And the man
<0376>

Micah
<04318>

had an house
<01004>

of gods
<0430>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

an ephod
<0646>_,

and teraphim
<08655>_,

and consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>

one
<0259>

of his sons
<01121>_,

who became his priest
<03548>_.

{consecrated: Heb. filled the hand}

17:6

In those days
<03117>

[there was] no king
<04428>

in Israel
<03478>_,

[but] every man
<0376>

did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_.

17:7

And there was a young man
<05288>

out of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>

of the family
<04940>

of Judah
<03063>_,

who [was] a Levite
<03881>_,

and he sojourned
<01481> (8804)

there.

17:8

And the man
<0376>

departed
<03212> (8799)

out of the city
<05892>

from Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

where he could find
<04672> (8799)

[a place]: and he came
<0935> (8799)

to mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>

to the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_,

as he journeyed
<06213> (8800) <01870>_.

{as he...: Heb. in making his way}

17:9

And Micah
<04318>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Whence
<0370>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] a Levite
<03881>

of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

and I go
<01980> (8802)

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

where I may find
<04672> (8799)

[a place].

17:10

And Micah
<04318>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Dwell
<03427> (8798)

with me, and be unto me a father
<01>

and a priest
<03548>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thee ten
<06235>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>

by the year
<03117>_,

and a suit
<06187>

of apparel
<0899>_,

and thy victuals
<04241>_.

So the Levite
<03881>

went in
<03212> (8799)_.

{a suit...: or, a double suit, etc: Heb. an order of garments}

17:11

And the Levite
<03881>

was content
<02974> (8686)

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

with the man
<0376>_;

and the young man
<05288>

was unto him as one
<0259>

of his sons
<01121>_.

17:12

And Micah
<04318>

consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>

the Levite
<03881>_;

and the young man
<05288>

became his priest
<03548>_,

and was in the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_.

17:13

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Micah
<04318>_,

Now know
<03045> (8804)

I that the LORD
<03068>

will do me good
<03190> (8686)_,

seeing I have a Levite
<03881>

to [my] priest
<03548>_.
