Joshua Installed as Leader

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:

Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and some household gods and installed one of his sons as his priest.

Then Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.

He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made.

And they installed the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their groups for the service of God at Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.

“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
