Judges 17
17
1And there was a man of mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], whose name [was] Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?].
2And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from youi, about which youi cursed, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be youi] of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), my son.
3And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto youi.
4Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?].
5And the man Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] had an house of gods, and made an ephod (vest) (ritual vest), and teraphim (household gods) (household gods), and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6In those days [there was] no king in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
7And there was a young man out of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah of the family of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], who [was] a Levi (Levite) [Joined to], and he detained (held) there.
8And the man departed out of the city from Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah to sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] to the house of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?], as he journeyed.
9And Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] said unto him, Whence come youi? And he said unto him, I [am] a Levi (Levite) [Joined to] of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
10And Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give youi ten [shekels] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and youi victuals (food for humans). So the Levi (Levite) [Joined to] (Levite) went in.
11And the Levi (Levite) [Joined to] was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12And Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] consecrated the Levi (Levite) [Joined to]; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?].
13Then said Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?], Now know I that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will do me good, seeing I have a Levi (Levite) [Joined to] to [my] priest.
