Judges 17:3 CPDV

¹  In that time, there was a certain man, from mount Ephraim, named Micah.

²  And he said to his mother, 'The one thousand one hundred silver coins, which you had separated for yourself, and about which you had sworn in my hearing, behold, I have them, and they are with me.' And she answered him, 'My son has been blessed by the Lord.'

³  Therefore, he restored them to his mother. And she said to him: 'I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, so that my son would receive it from my hand, and would make a molten idol and a graven image. And now I deliver it to you.'

⁴  And when he restored these to his mother, she took two hundred of the silver coins, and she gave them to the silversmith, so that he might make from them a molten idol and a graven image. And it was in the house of Micah.

⁵  And he also separated in it a little shrine for the god. And he made an ephod and theraphim, that is, a priestly garment and idols. And he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.
