Judges 17:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Micah's idols

17 There was a man who lived in the hill country of Ephraim. His name was Micah. ² He said to his mother, ‘I know about the 1,100 pieces of silver that somebody took from you. You cursed the person who had robbed you and I heard you. Look! Here are the pieces of silver. I took them myself. But now I am giving them back to you.’

His mother said, ‘Thank you, my son. I pray that the Lord will bless you.’

³ When Micah gave the 1,100 pieces of silver back to his mother, she said, ‘I will now give this silver to the Lord. We will use it to make an image and a metal idol. In that way, I will give it back to you, my son.’
