18:19 他们回答说，不要作声，用手捂口，跟我们去吧。我们必以你为父，为祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？还是作以色列一族一支派的祭司好呢？
18:20 Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and the family gods and the pictured image and went with the people.
18:20 祭司心里喜悦，便拿着以弗得和家中的神像，并雕刻的像，进入他们中间。

18:24 And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and my priest, and have gone away; what is there for me now? Why then do you say to me, What is your trouble?
18:24 米迦说，你们将我所作的神像和祭司都带了去，我还有所剩的吗？怎么还问我说作什么呢？

18:29 照着他们始祖以色列之子但的名字，给那城起名叫但。原先那城名叫拉亿。

18:30 但人就为自己设立那雕刻的像。摩西的孙子，革舜的儿子约拿单，和他的子孙作但支派的祭司，直到那地遭掳掠的日子。
18:31 And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
