Judges 18:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ They told him, “Be quiet. Put your hand over your mouth. Come with us and be our father and priest! Is it better for you to be priest for the household of one man or to be priest for an entire tribe and clan in Israel?”

²⁰ Then the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the vest, the household god, and the engraved idol, and he went along with the people. ²¹ So they set out on their way and sent their children and their cattle and possessions ahead of them.
