NET Bible: In the Hebrew text the statement, "
but now I
am giving it back to you
," appears at the end of v. 3 and
is spoken by the mother. But v. 4 indicates that she did
not give the money back to her son. Unless the
statement is spoken by the woman to the LORD, it
appears to be misplaced and fits much better in v. 2. It
may have been accidentally omitted from a manuscript,
written in the margin, and then later inserted in the
wrong place in another manuscript.

NET Bible Judges 17:2
He said to his mother,
"You know the eleven hundred pieces of silver which
were stolen from you,
about which I heard you pronounce a curse?
Look here, I have the silver.
I stole it,
but now I am giving it back to you.
"
His mother said,
"May the LORD reward you, my son!"
NET Bible: In the Hebrew text the statement, "
but now I
am giving it back to you
," appears at the end of v. 3 and
is spoken by the mother. But v. 4 indicates that she did
not give the money back to her son. Unless the
statement is spoken by the woman to the LORD, it
appears to be misplaced and fits much better in v. 2. It
may have been accidentally omitted from a manuscript,
written in the margin, and then later inserted in the
wrong place in another manuscript.

Money is stolen
•
The mother pronounces a curse on the thief
•
The son gets scared and confesses his guilt
•
The mother then quickly pronounces a blessing on her son
•
The mother decides to thank YHWH, consecrates the money to YHWH but in making an idol brings herself
under God’s curse and doesn’t seem to realize what she has done
•
ESV Deuteronomy 27:15 "'Cursed be the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an
abomination to the LORD, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' And all
the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.' (Deu 27:15 ESV)

brothers, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and

Teraphim = household gods (e.g. Gen 31:19; 1 Sam 19:13)

Ephod had been used for divination

after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family. (Jdg 8:27 ESV)

Micah ordains his own priest (one of his sons) and sets up his own “house of God” in his own house

•
A Levite leaves Bethlehem to find some employment
•
Bethlehem not one of the 48 Levitical cities assigned by Moses
•
City of the future king David
•
City of a future Levite in the sordid tale of Judges 19
•
The Levite travels north and finds Micah who wants to upgrade his priest
•
Levite becomes both a “father” and a “son” to Micah
•
father = term of honour
•
Genesis 45:8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh,
and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
•
2 Kings 6:21 As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, "My father, shall I strike
them down? Shall I strike them down?"
•
Micah gives Levite enough to live on
•
10 silvers a year
•
The priestly clothes to do his job
•
Food
•
The Levite agrees
•
Micah ordains the Levite (second ordination)
•
The Levite, however, is a descended of Moses not Aaron
•
ESV Judges 18:30 And the people of Dan set up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan the
son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the
captivity of the land. (Jdg 18:30 ESV)
•
Micah has a shrine, a Levitical priest and some idols.
•
Now surely YHWH will prosper him.
•
Worship exchanged for Idolatry; indicative of the age
•
Refusing to worship by God’s commands => blissful confusion and a mistaken sense of God’s blessing
•
Romans 1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but
they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Some Commentary Money is stolen The mother pronounces a curse on the thief The son gets scared and confesses his guilt The mother then quickly pronounces a blessing on her son The mother decides to thank YHWH, consecrates the money to YHWH but in making an idol brings herself under God s curse and doesn t seem to realize what she has done ESV Deuteronomy 27:15 "'Cursed be the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an abomination to the LORD, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.' (Deu 27:15 ESV) She dedicates only 200 of the 1100 to YHWH Questionable motive as well as action? It seems that there are 2 idols ESV Judges 18:14 Then the five men who had gone to scout out the country of Laish said to their brothers, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a metal image? Now therefore consider what you will do." (Jdg 18:14 ESV) Teraphim = household gods (e.g. Gen 31:19; 1 Sam 19:13) Ephod had been used for divination ESV Judges 8:27 And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel whored after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family. (Jdg 8:27 ESV) Micah ordains his own priest (one of his sons) and sets up his own house of God in his own house In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

Some Commentary A Levite leaves Bethlehem to find some employment Bethlehem not one of the 48 Levitical cities assigned by Moses City of the future king David City of a future Levite in the sordid tale of Judges 19 The Levite travels north and finds Micah who wants to upgrade his priest Levite becomes both a father and a son to Micah father = term of honour Genesis 45:8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 2 Kings 6:21 As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, "My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?" Micah gives Levite enough to live on 10 silvers a year The priestly clothes to do his job Food The Levite agrees Micah ordains the Levite (second ordination) The Levite, however, is a descended of Moses not Aaron ESV Judges 18:30 And the people of Dan set up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land. (Jdg 18:30 ESV) Micah has a shrine, a Levitical priest and some idols. Now surely YHWH will prosper him. Worship exchanged for Idolatry; indicative of the age Refusing to worship by God s commands => blissful confusion and a mistaken sense of God s blessing Romans 1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
