Judges 18:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ They said to him, “Keep quiet! Put your hand over your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one person or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?”^{(A) 20} Then the priest accepted the offer. He took the ephod, the teraphim, and the idol and went along with the people.

²¹ So they resumed their journey, putting the little ones, the livestock, and the goods in front of them.
