Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah. ⁵ And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest. ⁶ In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.
