In those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP [ there ] [ was ] no H369 NPAR king H4428 NMS in Israel H3478 : and in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 the tribe H7626 CMS of the Danites H1839 sought H1245 them an inheritance H5159 to dwell H3427 L-VQFC in ; for H3588 CONJ unto H5704 PREP that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 D-AMS [ all ] [ their ] inheritance H5159 had not H3808 ADV fallen H5307 unto them among H8432 B-NMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 .
And the children H1121 CMP of Dan H1835 sent H7971 of their family H4940 five H2568 men H376 NMP from their coasts H7098 , men H376 NMP of valor H2428 NMS , from Zorah H6881 , and from Eshtaol H847 , to spy out H7270 the land H776 D-GFS , and to search H2713 it ; and they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Go H1980 VQI2MP , search H2713 the land H776 D-GFS : who when they came H935 W-VQY3MP to mount H2022 CMS Ephraim H669 , to H5704 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Micah H4318 , they lodged H3885 there H8033 ADV .
When they H1992 PPRO-3MP [ were ] by H5973 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Micah H4318 , they H1992 knew H5234 VHQ3MP the voice H6963 CMS of the young man H5288 the Levite H3881 : and they turned in H5493 thither H8033 ADV , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Who H4310 IPRO brought H935 thee hither H1988 ? and what H4100 makest H6213 VQPMS thou H859 PPRO-2MS in this H2088 [ place ] ? and what H4100 W-IPRO hast thou here H6311 ?
And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Thus H2090 and thus H2090 dealeth H6213 VQQ3MS Micah H4318 with me , and hath hired H7936 me , and I am H1961 W-VQY1MS his priest H3548 .
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Ask counsel H7592 VQI2MS , we pray thee H4994 IJEC , of God H430 , that we may know H3045 W-VQI1CP whether our way H1870 which H834 RPRO we H587 PPRO-1MP go H1980 shall be prosperous H6743 .
And the priest H3548 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Go H1980 VQI2MP in peace H7965 : before H5227 the LORD H3068 EDS [ is ] your way H1870 wherein H834 RPRO ye go H1980 .
Then the five H2568 men H376 D-NMP departed H1980 W-VQY3MP , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to Laish H3919 , and saw H7200 W-VQY3MP the people H5971 that H834 RPRO [ were ] therein H7130 , how they dwelt H3427 careless H983 L-NMS , after the manner H4941 of the Zidonians H6722 , quiet H8252 and secure H982 ; and [ there ] [ was ] no H369 W-NPAR magistrate H3423 in the land H776 B-NFS , that might put [ them ] to shame H3637 in [ any ] thing H1697 VQPMS ; and they H1992 PPRO-3MP [ were ] far H7350 from the Zidonians H6722 , and had no H369 NPAR business H1697 W-NMS with H5973 PREP [ any ] man H120 .
And they came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP their brethren H251 to Zorah H6881 and Eshtaol H847 : and their brethren H251 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto them , What H4100 IGAT [ say ] ye H859 ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Arise H6965 , that we may go up H5927 against H5921 PREP-3MP them : for H3588 CONJ we have seen H7200 the land H776 D-GFS , and , behold H2009 IJEC , it [ is ] very H3966 ADV good H2896 NFS : and [ are ] ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP still H2814 ? be not slothful H6101 to go H1980 L-VQFC , [ and ] to enter H935 to possess H3423 the land H776 D-GFS .
When ye go H935 , ye shall come H935 unto H413 PREP a people H5971 NMS secure H982 , and to a large H7342 land H776 WD-GFS : for H3588 CONJ God H430 EDP hath given H5414 it into your hands H3027 NFD ; a place H4725 NUM-MS where H834 RPRO [ there ] [ is ] no H369 ADV want H4270 of any H3605 NMS thing H1697 VQPMS that H834 RPRO [ is ] in the earth H776 B-GFS .
And there went H5265 from thence H8033 M-ADV of the family H4940 M-CFS of the Danites H1839 , out of Zorah H6881 and out of Eshtaol H847 , six H8337 hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS appointed H2296 with weapons H3627 of war H4421 .
And they went up H5927 , and pitched H2583 in Kirjath H7157 - jearim , in Judah H3063 : wherefore H3651 ADV they called H7121 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS place H4725 Mahaneh H4265 - dan unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS : behold H2009 IJEC , [ it ] [ is ] behind H310 PREP Kirjath H7157 - jearim .
And they passed H5674 thence H8033 M-ADV unto mount H2022 CMS Ephraim H669 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H5704 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Micah H4318 .
Then answered H6030 the five H2568 men H376 that went H1980 to spy out H7270 the country H776 D-GFS of Laish H3919 , and said H559 unto H413 PREP their brethren H251 , Do ye know H3045 that H3588 CONJ there is H3426 PART in these H428 D-DPRO-3MP houses H1004 an ephod H646 , and teraphim H8655 , and a graven image H6459 , and a molten image H4541 ? now H6258 W-ADV therefore consider H3045 what H4100 IGAT ye have to do H6213 .
And they turned H5493 thitherward H8033 ADV-3FS , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP the house H1004 of the young man H5288 the Levite H3881 , [ even ] unto the house H1004 CMS of Micah H4318 , and saluted H7592 him .
And the six H8337 W-RFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS appointed H2296 with their weapons H3627 of war H4421 , which H834 RPRO [ were ] of the children H1121 of Dan H1835 , stood H5324 by the entering H6607 CMS of the gate H8179 .
And the five H2568 men H376 D-NMS that went H5927 to spy out H7270 the land H776 D-GFS went up H5927 , [ and ] came in H935 VQQ3MP thither H8033 ADV-3FS , [ and ] took H3947 the graven image H6459 , and the ephod H646 , and the teraphim H8655 , and the molten image H4541 : and the priest H3548 stood H5324 in the entering H6607 CMS of the gate H8179 with the six H8337 W-RFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 D-NMS [ that ] [ were ] appointed H2296 with weapons H3627 of war H4421 .
And these H428 W-PMP went H935 VQQ3MP into Micah H4318 \'s house H1004 CMS , and fetched H3947 W-VQY3MP the carved image H6459 , the ephod H646 , and the teraphim H8655 , and the molten image H4541 . Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the priest H3548 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , What H4100 IGAT do H6213 ye H859 PPRO-2MS ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Hold thy peace H2790 VHI2MP , lay H7760 thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS upon H5921 PREP thy mouth H6310 CMS-2MS , and go H1980 with H5973 PREP-1MP us , and be H1961 to us a father H1 and a priest H3548 : [ is ] [ it ] better H2896 I-NMS for thee to be H1961 a priest H3548 NMS unto the house H1004 of one H259 MMS man H376 NMS , or H176 CONJ that thou be H1961 a priest H3548 NMS unto a tribe H7626 L-NMS and a family H4940 in Israel H3478 ?
And the priest H3548 \'s heart H3820 NMS was glad H3190 , and he took H3947 W-VQY3MS the ephod H646 , and the teraphim H8655 , and the graven image H6459 , and went H935 W-VQY3MS in the midst H7130 of the people H5971 D-NMS .
So they turned H6437 and departed H1980 W-VQY3MP , and put H7760 W-VQY3MP the little ones H2945 and the cattle H4735 and the carriage H3520 before H6440 them .
[ And ] when they H1992 PPRO-3MP were a good way H7368 from the house H1004 of Micah H4318 , the men H376 that H834 RPRO [ were ] in the houses H1004 near H5973 PREP to Micah H4318 \'s house H1004 CMS were gathered together H2199 , and overtook H1692 the children H1121 of Dan H1835 .
And they cried H7121 unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of Dan H1835 . And they turned H5437 their faces H6440 CMP-3MP , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto Micah H4318 , What H4100 IPRO aileth thee , that H3588 CONJ thou comest with such a company H2199 ?
And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Ye have taken away H3947 my gods H430 which H834 RPRO I made H6213 VQQ1MS , and the priest H3548 , and ye are gone away H1980 : and what H4100 IPRO have I more H5750 ADV ? and what H4100 IPRO [ is ] this H2088 PMS [ that ] ye say H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , What H4100 IPRO aileth thee ?
And the children H1121 of Dan H1835 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Let not H408 NPAR thy voice H6963 be heard H8085 among H5973 PREP-1MP us , lest H6435 angry H4751 fellows H376 NMP run H6293 upon thee , and thou lose H622 thy life H5315 GFS , with the lives H5315 GFS of thy household H1004 .
And the children H1121 CMP of Dan H1835 went H1980 W-VQY3MP their way H1870 : and when Micah H4318 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP [ were ] too strong H2389 AMP for H4480 M-PREP-3MS him , he turned H6437 and went back H7725 unto H413 PREP his house H1004 CMS-3MS .
And they H1992 took H3947 [ the ] [ things ] which H834 RPRO Micah H4318 had made H6213 VQQ3MS , and the priest H3548 which H834 RPRO he had H1961 VQQ3MS , and came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H5921 PREP Laish H3919 , unto H5921 PREP a people H5971 NMS [ that ] [ were ] at quiet H8252 and secure H982 : and they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP them with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 NFS , and burnt H8313 the city H5892 D-GFS with fire H784 .
And [ there ] [ was ] no H369 W-NPAR deliverer H5337 , because H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS [ was ] far H7350 from Zidon H6721 , and they had no H369 NPAR business H1697 W-NMS with H5973 PREP [ any ] man H120 NMS ; and it H1931 PPRO-3FS was in the valley H6010 that H834 RPRO [ lieth ] by Beth H1050 - rehob . And they built H1129 a city H5892 D-GFS , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MP therein .
And they called H7121 W-VQY3MP the name H8034 CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS Dan H1835 , after the name H8034 B-CMS of Dan H1835 their father H1 CMS-3MP , who H834 RPRO was born H3205 unto Israel H3478 : howbeit H199 W-CONJ the name H8034 CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS [ was ] Laish H3919 at the first H7223 .
And the children H1121 W-CMP-3MS of Dan H1835 set up H6965 the graven image H6459 : and Jonathan H3083 , the son H1121 W-CMP-3MS of Gershom H1648 , the son H1121 W-CMP-3MS of Manasseh H4519 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and his sons H1121 W-CMP-3MS were H1961 VQQ3MP priests H3548 to the tribe H7626 L-NMS of Dan H1839 until H5704 PREP the day H3117 NMS of the captivity H1540 of the land H776 D-GFS .
And they set them up H7760 W-VQY3MP Micah H4318 \'s graven image H6459 , which H834 RPRO he made H6213 VQQ3MS , all H3605 NMS the time H3117 CMP that the house H1004 CMS of God H430 D-EDP was H1961 VQFC in Shiloh H7887 .
