And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and installed one of his sons, who became his priest.

And Micah said to him, "Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, and a suit of apparel, and your living."

And Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest."

And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."

And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the LORD."

and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entered and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

And when these went into Micah's house and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"

And they said to him, "Keep quiet, put your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and family in Israel?"

And the priest's heart was glad; he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

And he said, "You take my gods which I made, and the priest, and go away, and what have I left? How then do you ask me, 'What ails you?'"

And taking what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, the Danites came to La'ish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.
