1	And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
			2	And he said# unto his mother, The eleven hundred# shekels of silver that were taken# from thee, about which thou cursedst# , and spakest# of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took# it. And his mother said# , Blessed# be thou of the LORD, my son.
			3	And when he had restored# the eleven hundred# shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said# , I had wholly# dedicated# the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make# a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore# it unto thee.
			4	Yet he restored# the money unto his mother; and his mother took# two hundred shekels of silver, and gave# them to the founder# , who made# thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
			5	And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made# an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated# # one of his sons, who became his priest. [consecrated: Heb. filled the hand]
			6	In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did# that which was right in his own eyes.
			7	And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah# of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned# there.
			8	And the man departed# out of the city from Bethlehemjudah# to sojourn# where he could find# a place : and he came# to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed# # . [as he...: Heb. in making his way]
			9	And Micah said# unto him, Whence comest# thou? And he said# unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah# , and I go# to sojourn# where I may find# a place .
			10	And Micah said# unto him, Dwell# with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give# thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in# . [a suit...: or, a double suit, etc: Heb. an order of garments]
			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.
