*
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish ,
and said unto their brethren ,
Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod ,
and teraphim ,
and a graven image ,
and a molten image ?
now therefore consider what ye have to do .
*
And they turned thitherward ,
and came to the house of the young man the Levite ,
even unto the house of Micah ,
and saluted him .
*
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war ,
which were of the children of Dan ,
stood by the entering of the gate .
*
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up ,
and came in thither ,
and took the graven image ,
and the ephod ,
and the teraphim ,
and the molten image :
and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war .
*
And these went into Micah '
s house ,
and fetched the carved image ,
the ephod ,
and the teraphim ,
and the molten image .
Then said the priest unto them ,
What do ye ?
*
And they said unto him ,
Hold thy peace ,
lay thine hand upon thy mouth ,
and go with us ,
and be to us a father and a priest :
is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man ,
or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel ?
*
And the priest '
s heart was glad ,
and he took the ephod ,
and the teraphim ,
and the graven image ,
and went in the midst of the people .
*
So they turned and departed ,
and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them .
