Jueces 18:17 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:17

And the five men that went out to spy the land went up and
came thither
They first came to Micah's house, and saluted the young man, and after that salutation told him there was such a number of their brethren at the gate of the city, very probably, who would be glad to see him; and the young man being desirous also of seeing them, and paying his respects to them, went with them thither, and after they had introduced him, left him discoursing with them, and then returned to his apartment:

and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the
molten image;
and brought them away with them; and from hence it appears plainly that there were two images, the one graven, and the other molten, since they are so manifestly distinguished, and the ephod and teraphim are spoken of between them:

and the priest stood in the entering of the gate, with the six hundred
men that were appointed with the weapons of war;
who kept him in talk, while the five men went and stole the above things.

Jueces 18:17 In-Context

15 Entonces los cinco hombres se desviaron del camino y fueron hasta la casa de Micaía, donde vivía el joven levita, y lo saludaron amablemente.

16 Mientras los seiscientos guerreros armados de la tribu de Dan vigilaban la entrada de la puerta,

17 los cinco espías entraron al santuario y tomaron la imagen tallada, el efod sagrado, los ídolos de familia y el ídolo fundido. Ahora bien, el sacerdote también estaba en la puerta con los seiscientos guerreros armados.

18 Cuando el sacerdote vio que los hombres se llevaban todos los objetos sagrados del santuario de Micaía, les dijo:
—¿Qué hacen?

19 —Cállate y ven con nosotros —le dijeron—. Sé un padre y sacerdote para todos nosotros. ¿Acaso no es mejor ser el sacerdote de toda una tribu y un clan de Israel, que de la casa de un solo hombre?
