Judges 17:1-5

LEB(i) 1 There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim; his name was Micah. 2 And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, and about which you also pronounced a curse in my hearing,* are with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by Yahweh." 3 He returned the eleven hundred pieces* of silver to his mother, and his mother thought, "I will certainly consecrate to Yahweh the pieces* of silver from my hand for my son to make an idol of cast metal; now then, I will return them* to you." 4 When he returned the pieces* of silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces* of silver, and she gave it to the smith, and he made it into an idol of cast metal; and it was in the house of Micah. 5 The man Micah had for himself a shrine,* and he made an ephod and teraphim, and he appointed one of his sons* who became a priest for him.
