Shofetim 18:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And these went into bais Mikhah, and fetched the pesel, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the masakhah. Then said the kohen unto them, What are ye doing?

¹⁹ And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine yad upon thy mouth, and come with us, and be to us an av and a kohen; is it better for thee to be a kohen unto the bais ish echad, or that thou be a kohen unto a shevet and a mishpakhat in Yisroel?

²⁰ And the lev hakohen was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the pesel, and went in the midst of the people.
