Micah stealeth money of his mother; then confesseth and restoreth it. She dedicates it to the Lord; maketh images: he sets them up in the house of his gods; and consecrates one of his sons for his priest; there being then no magistrates in Israel, 1-6. A Levite travelling that way, he hireth and consecrateth him to be his priest, 7-12; is confident that God would therefore favour and bless him, 13.
