Judges 17:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Micah said to his mother, “Do you remember that someone stole 28 pounds^[a] 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^[b] of the silver and gave them to a silversmith.^[c] He used the silver to make a statue covered with silver. The statue was put in Micah’s house.
