Judges 17:2 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 There was a man named Micah who lived in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 Micah said to his mother, "Do you remember that someone stole 28 pounds of silver from you? I heard you say a curse about that. Well, I have the silver. I took it." His mother said, "The Lord bless you, my son."
3 Micah gave the 28 pounds of silver back to his mother. Then she said, "I will give this silver as a special gift to the Lord. I will give it to my son so that he can make a statue and cover it with the silver. So now, son, I give the silver back to you."
4 But Micah gave the silver back to his mother. So she took about 5 pounds of the silver and gave them to a silversmith. He used the silver to make a statue covered with silver. The statue was put in Micah's house.
5 Micah had a temple for worshiping idols. He made an ephod and some house idols. Then Micah chose one of his sons to be his priest.
6 (At that time the Israelites did not have a king, so everyone did what they thought was right.)
7 There was a young man who was a Levite from the city of Bethlehem in Judah. He had been living among the tribe of Judah.
8 He left Bethlehem to look for another place to live. As he was traveling, he came to Micah's house in the hill country of the land of Ephraim.
9 Micah asked him, "Where have you come from?" The young man answered, "I am a Levite from the city of Bethlehem in Judah. I am looking for a place to live."
10 Then Micah said to him, "Live with me. Be my father and my priest. I will give you 4 ounces of silver each year. I will also give you clothes and food." The Levite did what Micah asked.
11 The young Levite agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah's own sons.
12 Micah chose him to be his priest. So the young man became a priest and lived in Micah's house.
13 And Micah said, "Now I know that the Lord will be good to me. I know this because I have a man from the tribe of Levi to be my priest."

6 In those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP there was no H369 NPAR king H4428 NMS in Israel H3478 , but every man H376 NMS did H6213 VQY3MS that which was right H3477 in his own eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
7 And there was H1961 W-VQY3MS a young man H5288 out of Bethlehem H1035 - judah of the family H4940 M-CFS of Judah H3063 , who H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was a Levite H3881 , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS sojourned H1481 there H8033 ADV .

11 And the Levite H3881 was content H2974 to dwell H3427 L-VQFC with H854 PREP the man H376 D-NMS ; and the young man H5288 was H1961 W-VQY3MS unto him as one H259 K-NMS of his sons H1121 .
