Richtere 17:13 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 17:13

Then said Micah
Within himself, pleased with what he had done, and with what he engaged in:

now know I that the Lord will do me good;
that I shall enjoy his favour, be a happy man, and prosper; and by this it appears, that notwithstanding the idolatry he had fallen into, he had not utterly forsaken the Lord, but worshipped him in and by his images; there was a mixture of the worship of God, and of the worship of images:

seeing I have a Levite to my priest;
who was of the same tribe the priests were, and so the nearest to them of any, and which he thought would be acceptable to God, and an omen of good to himself.

Richtere 17:13 In-Context

11 En de Leviet bewilligde bij dien man te blijven; en de jongeling was hem als een van zijn zonen.
12 En Micha vulde de hand van den Leviet, dat hij hem tot een priester wierd; alzo was hij in het huis van Micha.
13 Toen zeide Micha: Nu weet ik, dat de HEERE mij weldoen zal, omdat ik dezen Leviet tot een priester heb.
