Judges 18:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ They said to him, “Quiet! Put your hand over your mouth and go with us. Be a father and priest for us. Is it better to be a priest for one man’s house or for a tribe and a family in Israel?” ²⁰ So the priest’s heart was glad. He took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image and went among the people. ²¹ So they turned and left, putting the children, livestock, and valuables in front of them.
