Now you have gone off because you long for your father— but why have you stolen my gods?”

This man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and household idols, and installed one of his sons to be his priest.

For the idols speak falsehood, and the diviners see illusions; they relate empty dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they suffer affliction because there is no shepherd.

He said,“ You took the gods I had made and the priest, and went away. What do I have left? How can you say to me,‘ What’s the matter with you?’”

For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or household idols.

The elders of Moab and Midian departed with fees for divination in hand. They came to Balaam and reported Balak’s words to him.
