RF JDG 17:1 ILLUSTRATIONS OF ISRAEL'S ANARCHY
(From 1406 to 1120 B.C.)

Mikah and the Danites, and his Teraph. An Historical Poem.
There was a man in Mount Ephraim, named Mikah,
RF JDG 17:2 who said to his mother, "Those eleven hundred of silver which were taken from you, and about which you cursed and swore in my hearing,—I have your money.; I stole it And his mother replied, "The EVER-LIVING bless you, my son!"
RF JDG 17:3 So he returned the eleven hundred of money to his mother, when she said to him, "I had consecrated that money to the EVER-LIVING on account of my son, to make an image, and a shrine; but now I will give it to you!"
RF JDG 17:4 He, however, returned it to his mother. But he took two hundred of the money, and gave it to a silversmith, who made an image and a shrine, and it was in the house of Mikah,
RF JDG 17:5 and Mikah made it a House of gods, and made an ephod and a teraph, and also set aside one of his sons, and he was the priest to it.
RF JDG 17:6 REFRAIN.
There was no king in Israel in those days;—Each did what was right in his own eyes.
RF JDG 17:7 There was also a youth of Bethlehem-Judah, in the clan of Judah, but he was a Levite, who resided there.
RF JDG 17:8 And the man went from the village of Bethlehem-Judah to settle where he might find a home, and he came to Mount Ephraim, to the house of Mikah,
RF JDG 17:9 in making his journey, when Mikah asked him, "From where do you come?" And he answered "I am a Levite from Bethlehem-Judah, and I am going to settle in Ashur."
RF JDG 17:10 But Mikah said to him, "Stay with me, as a father and a priest, and I will pay you ten silvers a year, and a suit of robes, and your board."
RF JDG 17:11 So the Levite consented, and the Levite was content to settle with the man Mikah, and the youth became to him as one of his sons.
RF JDG 17:12 Mikah also appointed the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and lived in the house of Mikah.
RF JDG 17:13 Consequently Mikah said, "Now I know that the EVER-LIVING will prosper me, because I have got a Levite for a priest."
