Judges 17:5-6

17:5 Now this man Micah owned a shrine. ¹  He made an ephod ²  and some personal idols and hired one of his sons to serve as a priest. ³  17:6 In those days Israel had no king. Each man did what he considered to be right. ⁴ 

[17:5]  ¹ tn Heb “house of God.”

[17:5]  ² sn Here an ephod probably refers to a priestly garment (cf. Exod 28:4-6).

[17:5]  ³ tn Heb “and he filled the hand of one of his sons and he became his priest.”

[17:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “Each was doing what was right in his [own] eyes.”
