Verse 4 is found in chapter 18 of Judges. The tribe of Dan seeks territory because it has not yet secured its inheritance. Five spies arrive at Micah’s house and recognize the Levite’s voice. They ask whether their journey will prosper and receive a favorable answer. The religious consultation is completely instrumentalized: the priest is treated as a means of obtaining security for a territorial enterprise.

Er antwortete ihnen: So und so hat Micha an mir getan und hat mich gedingt, daß ich sein Priester sei.
Y él les respondió: De esta y de esta manera ha hecho conmigo Michâs, y me ha tomado para que sea su sacerdote.
Él les respondió: «Micaía ha hecho por mí esto y aquello. Me ha contratado y soy su sacerdote».
Il leur répondit: Mica fait pour moi telle et telle chose, il me donne un salaire, et je lui sers de prêtre.
Ed egli disse loro: Mica mi ha fatte tali e tali cose, e mi ha condotto per prezzo per essergli sacerdote.
E ele lhes disse: Assim e assim me tem feito Mica; pois me tem contratado, e eu lhe sirvo de sacerdote.
他對他們說:「 米迦 如此如此待我,他雇用我,我就作了他的祭司。」
