And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed is the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,

in the house of Micah, and they recognized the voice of the young man the Levite, and turned in there. And they said to him, Who brought you in here? And what are you doing in this place? And what do you have here?

And he said to them, Thus and thus did Micah to me, and he hired me, and I became his priest.

And the house of Micah [was] to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.

A son who ceases to attend to the instruction of a father will cherish evil designs.

And if they should say to you, Seek those who have in them a divining spirit, and them that speak out of the earth, them that speak vain words, who speak out of their belly; shall not a nation diligently seek their God? Why do they look to the dead concerning the living?

For He has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.
