And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten , and now I will restore it to thee.
4
But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
5
And the house of Michaias to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
6
And 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 in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
8
And the man departed from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
9
And Michaias said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
10
And Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and thy living.
11
And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12
And Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
13
And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
