Then they said to him,“ Please inquire of God to learn whether our journey will be successful.”

Then they said to him,“ Please ask God for advice. Try to find out whether we’ll have success on our journey.”

And they said to him,“ Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed.”

Then they said to him,“ Please inquire of God for us to determine if we will have a successful journey.”

Then they said to him,“ Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be successful.”

Everyone, from the least to the greatest, often spoke of him as“ the Great One— the Power of God.”

Micah set up a shrine for the idol, and he made a sacred ephod and some household idols. Then he installed one of his sons as his personal priest.

The five men who had scouted out the land around Laish explained to the others,“ These buildings contain a sacred ephod, as well as some household idols, a carved image, and a cast idol. What do you think you should do?”

“ What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord.“ You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins.

They ask a piece of wood for advice! They think a stick can tell them the future! Longing after idols has made them foolish. They have played the prostitute, serving other gods and deserting their God.

He told Uriah the priest,“ Use the new altar for the morning sacrifices of burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offerings of all the people, as well as their grain offerings and liquid offerings.
