- 以法莲山地有一个人名叫米迦。
- 他对母亲说,你那一千一百舍客勒银子被人拿去,你因此咒诅,并且告诉了我。看哪。这银子在我这里,是我拿去了。他母亲说,我儿阿,愿耶和华赐福与你。
- 米迦就把这一千一百舍客勒银子还他母亲。他母亲说,我分出这银子来为你献给耶和华,好雕刻一个像,铸成一个像。现在我还是交给你。
- 米迦将银子还他母亲,他母亲将二百舍客勒银子交给银匠,雕刻一个像,铸成一个像,安置在米迦的屋内。
- 这米迦有了神堂,又制造以弗得和家中的神像,分派他一个儿子作祭司。

- 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.
