There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. Jdg 10:1Jdg 18:2Jos 15:9Jos 17:14-18 He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.” Neh 13:25Rut 3:101Sa 23:212Jn 1:11Mat 26:741Co 16:221Sa 14:241Sa 14:28
His mother said, “May the LORD bless my son!”
He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.” Exo 20:4Lev 19:4Exo 20:23Deu 12:3Exo 34:17Hab 2:18-19Isa 40:18-25Isa 44:9-20
When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah. Isa 46:6-7Jer 10:9-10
The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, 1 and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. Gen 31:19Gen 31:30Jdg 18:14Jdg 8:27Hos 3:4Jdg 18:24Exo 28:15Exo 29:9 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes. Deu 12:8Pro 12:15Pro 14:12Jdg 21:25Jdg 18:1Jdg 19:1Pro 16:2Ecc 11:9 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there. Mat 2:1Mic 5:2Rut 1:1-2Mat 2:5-6Gen 35:19Jdg 19:1-2Jos 19:15 The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled. Jos 24:33Jdg 17:11Neh 13:10-11 Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?”
He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”
Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in. 1Pe 5:2Jhn 12:61Sa 2:361Ti 6:102Ki 13:142Ki 6:212Ki 8:8-9Ezk 13:19 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Jdg 18:301Ki 12:311Ki 13:33-34Num 16:5Num 16:8-10 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.” Act 26:9Jhn 16:2Mat 15:13Rom 10:2-3Isa 44:20Isa 66:3-4Mat 15:9Pro 14:12
