AND there was a man of Mount Ephrayim, whose name was Miykayahu.
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred sheqels of silver that were taken from you, about which you cursed, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be you of Yahuah, my son.
And when he had restored the eleven hundred sheqels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto Yahuah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto you.
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred sheqels 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 Miykayahu.
And the man Miykah had a house of elohiym, and made an ephod, and Teraphiym, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
In those days there was no king in Yashar'el, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
And there was a young man out of Beyt Lechem Yahudah of the family of Yahudah, who was a Leviyiy, and he sojourned there.
And the man departed out of the city from Beyt Lechem Yahudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to Mount Ephrayim to the house of Miykah, as he journeyed.
And Miykah said unto him, Whence do you come? And he said unto him, I am a Leviyiy of Beyt Lechem Yahudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
And Miykah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten sheqels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and your victuals. So the Leviyiy went in.
And the Leviyiy was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
And Miykah consecrated the Leviyiy; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Miykah.
Then said Miykah, Now know I that Yahuah will do me good, seeing I have a Leviyiy to my priest.
