Judges 17:1-3

Modern English Version

Micah’s Idols

17 There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah. ² He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver^[a] that were taken from you, on which you put a curse, even speaking the curse in my ears—here is the silver with me. I took it.”

Then his mother said, “May the Lord bless my son!”

³ Then he returned the eleven hundred silver coins to his mother. His mother said, “I certainly consecrated the silver to the Lord, for my son to make a carved idol and a metal idol, so now I return it to you.”
