Juízes 18:19

Listen to Juízes 18:19
19 Eles lhe responderam: “SilĂȘncio! NĂŁo diga nada. Venha conosco, e seja nosso pai e sacerdote. NĂŁo serĂĄ melhor para vocĂȘ servir como sacerdote uma tribo e um clĂŁ de Israel do que apenas a famĂ­lia de um sĂł homem?”

Juízes 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:19

And they said unto him, hold thy peace
Be silent, make no disturbance, be quiet and easy:

lay thy hand upon thy mouth;
as a token of silence; so the Egyptians used to paint Harpocrates, the god of silence, with his fingers pressing his lips:

and go with us;
for they wanted him as well as his gods, not knowing well how to make use of them without him:

and be to us a father and a priest;
to direct them, instruct them, perform acts of devotion for them, and ask counsel on their account; it seems as if it was common in those days to call a priest a father, see ( Judges 17:10 )

is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that
thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
suggesting, that it must be much more honourable for him, and more to his advantage, to officiate as a priest to a body of people, that might be called a tribe, or to a family consisting of various houses, than in the house of a private person; this they left him to consider and judge of.

Juízes 18:19 In-Context

17 Os cinco homens que haviam espionado a terra entraram e apanharam a imagem, o manto sacerdotal, os Ă­dolos da famĂ­lia e o Ă­dolo de metal, enquanto o sacerdote e os seiscentos homens armados permaneciam Ă  porta.
18 Quando os homens entraram na casa de Mica e apanharam a imagem, o manto sacerdotal, os Ă­dolos da famĂ­lia e o Ă­dolo de metal, o sacerdote lhes perguntou: “Que Ă© que vocĂȘs estĂŁo fazendo?”
19 Eles lhe responderam: “SilĂȘncio! NĂŁo diga nada. Venha conosco, e seja nosso pai e sacerdote. NĂŁo serĂĄ melhor para vocĂȘ servir como sacerdote uma tribo e um clĂŁ de Israel do que apenas a famĂ­lia de um sĂł homem?”
20 EntĂŁo o sacerdote se alegrou, apanhou o manto sacerdotal, os Ă­dolos da famĂ­lia e a imagem esculpida e se juntou Ă  tropa.
21 Pondo os seus filhos, os seus animais e os seus bens na frente deles, partiram de volta.
