Judges 17:1-3

Christian Standard Bible

Micah’s Priest

17 There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim named Micah. ² He said to his mother, “The 1,100 pieces of silver taken from you, and that I heard you place a curse on—here’s the silver. I took it.”

Then his mother said, “My son, may you be blessed by the Lord!” ^(A)

³ He returned the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I personally consecrate^(B) the silver to the Lord for my son’s benefit to make a carved image and a silver idol.^[a] I will give it back to you.”
