17 And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. ² And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter ^[a]a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah. ³ And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I verily ^[b]dedicate the silver unto Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
