And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 18 of Judges. The Danites set out armed and return to Micah’s house. They steal the image, ephod, and other religious objects. When the Levite protests, they offer him the opportunity to become priest of an entire tribe rather than serving one family. He accepts. The scene reveals how religious office can become subordinate to prestige, power, and political opportunity.
