Mikini idoli
17 U Efrajimovom je gorju živio čovjek po imenu Mika. 2 Rekao je svojoj majci: »Sjećaš li se onih tisuću i sto srebrnjaka[a] koji su ti bili ukradeni? Čuo sam te kad si izrekla kletvu zbog njih. Ti su srebrnjaci kod mene. Ja sam ih uzeo.«
Njegova je majka uzvratila: »BOG te blagoslovio, sine moj!«
3 Mika je vratio majci srebrnjake, a ona je rekla: »Ovo srebro posvećujem BOGU. Dat ću ga svome sinu za izradu kipa od lijevanog srebra. Zato ga sada, sine, predajem tebi.«
4 Tako je Mika vratio srebrnjake majci, a ona je uzela dvjesto srebrnjaka. Dala ih je srebrnaru koji je od njih izlio srebrni kip. Kip je stajao u Mikinoj kući. 5 Mika je imao svetište za štovanje idola. Napravio je svećenički prsluk[b] i kućne idole. Jednog je od svojih sinova postavio za svećenika. 6 U to vrijeme Izrael nije imao kralja pa je svatko činio što je sâm mislio da je ispravno.
7 Jedan mladić, Levit iz grada Betlehema u Judi, koji je živio među ljudima iz Judinog plemena, 8 napustio je Betlehem u potrazi za mjestom gdje bi se nastanio. Put ga je naveo u Efrajimovo gorje i u Mikinu kuću.
9 Mika ga je upitao: »Odakle dolaziš?«
»Ja sam Levit iz Betlehema u Judi«, odgovorio je mladić. »Tražim mjesto gdje bih se mogao nastaniti.«
10 »Ostani kod mene«, rekao mu je Mika. »Budi mi kao otac i svećenik. Dat ću ti deset srebrnjaka godišnje, odijelo i hranu.«
Levit je pristao. 11 Složio se da ostane živjeti kod Mike. Bio mu je poput sina. 12 Mika je postavio Levita za svećenika. Mladić je tako postao svećenik i živio je u njegovoj kući.
13 Tada je Mika rekao: »Sad znam da će BOG biti dobar prema meni jer imam Levita za svećenika.«

- 17,2 1.100 srebrnjaka Doslovno: »1.100 šekela«, a to je oko 11 kilograma srebra. Isto u 3. retku.
- 17,5 svećenički prsluk Dio svećeničke odore (vidi Izl 28,6-14), inače isključivo za svećenike iz Levijevog plemena. Mikin je prsluk osiguravao autentičnost osobnog svetišta. No vjerojatno je bio i predmet štovanja (vidi Suci 18,14-31).

Micah’s Idols
17 There was a man named Micah. He lived in the mountains of Ephraim. 2 He said to his mother, “You remember the 28 pounds of silver that were taken from you. I heard you say a curse about it. I have the silver with me. I took it.”
His mother said, “The Lord bless you, my son!”
3 Micah gave the 28 pounds of silver to his mother. Then she said, “I will give this silver to the Lord. I will have my son make a carved idol and an idol of melted silver. So I will give the silver back to you.”
4 So he gave the silver back to his mother. She took about 5 pounds of the silver and gave it to a silversmith. He used it to make a carved idol and an idol of melted silver. The idols were put in Micah’s house. 5 Micah had a temple for worshiping idols. He made a vest for a priest and some household idols. Then Micah chose one of his sons to be his priest. 6 At that time the Israelites did not have a king. So everyone did what he thought was right.
7 There was a young man who was a Levite.[a] He was from the city of Bethlehem in the land of Judah. He had been living with the people of Judah. 8 He left Bethlehem to look for another place to live. On his way he came to Micah’s house. It was in the mountains of Ephraim. 9 Micah asked him, “Where have you come from?”
He answered, “I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I’m looking for a place to live.”
10 Then Micah said to him, “Live with me. Be my father and my priest. I will give you 4 ounces of silver each year. I will also give you clothes and food.” So the Levite went in. 11 The young Levite agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah’s own sons. 12 Micah made him a priest. And he lived in Micah’s house. 13 Then Micah said, “Now I know the Lord will be good to me. I know this because I have a Levite as my priest!”

Micah’s Idols
17 Now a man named Micah(A) from the hill country of Ephraim 2 said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels[a] of silver that were taken from you and about which I heard you utter a curse—I have that silver with me; I took it.”
Then his mother said, “The Lord bless you,(B) my son!”
3 When he returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, she said, “I solemnly consecrate my silver to the Lord for my son to make an image overlaid with silver.(C) I will give it back to you.”
4 So after he returned the silver to his mother, she took two hundred shekels[b] of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who used them to make the idol.(D) And it was put in Micah’s house.
5 Now this man Micah had a shrine,(E) and he made an ephod(F) and some household gods(G) and installed(H) one of his sons as his priest.(I) 6 In those days Israel had no king;(J) everyone did as they saw fit.(K)
7 A young Levite(L) from Bethlehem in Judah,(M) who had been living within the clan of Judah, 8 left that town in search of some other place to stay. On his way[c] he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 Micah asked him, “Where are you from?”
“I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,(N)” he said, “and I’m looking for a place to stay.”
10 Then Micah said to him, “Live with me and be my father(O) and priest,(P) and I’ll give you ten shekels[d] of silver a year, your clothes and your food.” 11 So the Levite agreed to live with him, and the young man became like one of his sons to him. 12 Then Micah installed(Q) the Levite, and the young man became his priest(R) and lived in his house. 13 And Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will be good to me, since this Levite has become my priest.”(S)
