Juízes 17

1 And there was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred

3 And he restored the eleven hundred

4 And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred

5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

6 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.

8 And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find

9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find

10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten

11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.

12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
