- 以法蓮山地有一個人名叫米迦、
- 他對母親說、你那一千一百舍客勒銀子被人拿去、你因此咒詛、並且告訴了我、看哪、這銀子在我這裡、是我拿去了.他母親說、我兒阿、願耶和華賜福與你。
- 米迦就把這一千一百舍客勒銀子還他母親.他母親說我分出這銀子來為你獻給耶和華、好雕刻一個像、鑄成一個像、現在我還是交給你。
- 米迦將銀子還他母親、他母親將二百舍客勒銀子交給銀匠、雕刻一個像、鑄成一個像、安置在米迦的屋內。
- 這米迦有了神堂、又製造以弗得、和家中的神像、分派他一個兒子作祭司。

- And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
- And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
- And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
- Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
- And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
