1: In [G1722] the [G3588] those days [G2250][G1565] there was not [G3756] a king in [G1722] Israel. And [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] those days [G2250][G1565] the [G3588] tribe [G5443] of Dan sought [G2212] for itself [G1438] an inheritance [G2817] the [G3588] to dwell [G2730], for [G3754] did not [G3756] fall in [G1706] to it [G1473] until [G2193] the [G3588] that day [G2250][G1565] in [G1722] midst [G3319] of tribes [G5443] 10> of Israel an inheritance [G2817].
2: And [G2532] sent out [G1821] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan] from their peoples [G1218][G1473] five [G4002] men from their part [G3313][G1473], men of sons [G5207] of power [G1411], from Zorah and [G2532] Esthaol, the [G3588] to survey the [G3588] land '[G1093], and [G2532] to track it [G1473]. And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473], Go [G4198], and [G2532] search out [G1830] the [G3588] land '[G1093]! And [G2532] they came [G3854] unto [G1519] raised-place (mountain) '[G3735] Ephraim, unto [G2193] house [G3624] of Micah, and [G2532] they rested [G2664] there [G1563].
3: In their [G1473] being by [G3844] house [G3624] of Micah, that [G2532] they [G1473] knew [G1097] the [G3588] voice [G5456] of the [G3588] young man [G3808], the [G3588] Levite, and [G2532] they turned aside [G1578] there [G1563]. And [G2532] they said [G2036] to him [G1473], Who [G5100] conveyed ' you [G1473] here [G5602]? And [G2532] what [G5100] do you [G1473] do [G4160] here ? And [G2532] what [G5100] is it here [G5602]?
4: And [G2532] he said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473], so [G3779] and [G2532] so [G3779] did [G4160] with me [G1473] Micah], and [G2532] hired [G3409] me [G1473], and [G2532] I became [G1096] to him [G1473] for [G1519] a priest [G2409].
5: And [G2532] they said [G2036] to him [G1473], Ask [G1905] indeed [G1211] to [G1722] the [G3588] God '[G2316]! that [G2532] we will know [G1097] if [G1487] greatly prospers the [G3588] our way [G3598][G1473] which [G3739] we [G1473] go [G4198] by [G1909] it [G1473].
6: And [G2532] said [G2036] to them [G1473] the [G3588] priest [G2409], Go [G4198] in [G1519] peace [G1515] before [G1799] Boss '[G2962]! the [G3588] your way [G3598][G1473] by [G2596] which [G3739] you go [G4198] by [G1722] it [G1473].
7: And [G2532] went [G4198] the [G3588] five [G4002] men and [G2532] came [G3854] into [G1519] Laish. And [G2532] they saw [G1492] the [G3588] people [G2992] the [G3588] in [G1722] it [G1473] dwelling [G2730] in [G1722] hope [G1680] as [G2596] the [G3588] amalgamation of the [G3588] Sidonians, being tranquil [G2270] in [G1722] hope [G1680], and [G2532] not [G3361] being able [G1410] to speak [G2980] a word [G4487] in [G1722] the [G3588] land '[G1093], for [G3754] they are far [G3112] from Sidon, and [G2532] word [G3056] no [G3756] there was to them [G1473] with [G3326] Syria.
8: And [G2532] came [G3854] the [G3588] five [G4002] men to [G4314] the [G3588]ir brothers [G1473] in [G1519] Zorah and [G2532] in [G1519] Esthaol. And [G2532] said [G3004] to them [G1473] the [G3588]ir brothers [G1473], Why [G5100] do you [G1473] sit down [G2521]?
9: And [G2532] they said [G2036], Rise up , for [G2532] we should go up against [G1909] them [G1473]! for [G3754] we saw [G3708] the [G3588] land '[G1093], and [G2532] look [G2400], good , [it is] exceedingly [G4970]. And [G2532] you [G1473] are silent [G4623]? You should not [G3361] be reluctant [G3635] the [G3588] to go [G4198] and [G2532] to enter [G1525] the [G3588] to inherit [G2816] the [G3588] land '[G1093].
10: When [G2259] ever you should enter [G1525], you will come [G2240] to [G4314] a people [G2992] being secure [G3982], and [G2532] the [G3588] land '[G1093] of broad space [G2149], for [G3754] delivered it over [G3860][G1473] the [G3588] God '[G2316] into [G1722] your hand [G5495][G1473]. A place [G5117] where [G3699] there not [G3756] is there [G1563] any deficiency [G5303][G3956] of a thing [G4487] as much as [G3745] [is] on [G1722] the [G3588] land '[G1093].
11: And [G2532] they departed from there [G1564], from [G1537] kin [G4772] of the [G3588] Dan, from [G1537] Zorah and [G2532] from Esthaol -- six hundred [G1812] men being girded with [G4024] weapons [G4632] for battle .
12: And [G2532] they went up and [G2532] camped in [G1722] Kirjath-jearim in [G1722] Judah. On account of [G1223] this [G3778] was called [G2564] the [G3588] that place [G5117][G1565], Camp [G3925] of Dan until [G2193] the [G3588] this day [G2250][G3778]. Look [G2400], [it is] behind Kirjath-jearim.
13: And [G2532] they went [G3928] from there [G1564] unto [G2193] the [G3588] raised-place (mountain) '[G3735] Ephraim, and [G2532] came [G2064] unto [G2193] house [G3624] of Micah.
14: And [G2532] responded the [G3588] five [G4002] men the [G3588] going [G4198] to survey the [G3588] land '[G1093] of Laish]. And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588]ir brothers [G1473], Did you know [G1487][G1492] that [G3754] there is in [G1722] the [G3588]se houses [G3624][G3778] an ephod , and [G2532] teraphim , and [G2532] a carved [image , and [G2532] a molten [image ? And [G2532] now [G3568] know [G1097] what [G5100] you will do [G4160]!
15: And [G2532] they turned aside [G1578] there [G1563], and [G2532] entered [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] young man [G3808] -- the [G3588] Levite, into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3624] of Micah, and [G2532] they asked [G2065] him [G1473] for [G1519] peace [G1515].
16: And [G2532] the [G3588] six hundred [G1812] men being girded with [G4024] weapons [G4632] for their warfare [G1473], being set up by [G3844] the [G3588] door [G2374] of the [G3588] gatehouse [G4440], [were] the [G3588] [ones] from [G1537] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan.
17: Then [G2532] went up the [G3588] five [G4002] men the [G3588] going [G4198] to survey the [G3588] land '[G1093]; and [G2532] coming [G1904] there [G1563], they took [G2983] the [G3588] carved [image , and [G2532] the [G3588] ephod , and [G2532] the [G3588] teraphim , and [G2532] the [G3588] molten [image . And [G2532] the [G3588] priest [G2409] was set up by [G3844] the [G3588] door [G2374] of the [G3588] gatehouse [G4440], and [G2532] the [G3588] six hundred [G1812] men the [G3588] were girded with [G4024] weapons [G4632] for warfare .
18: And [G2532] [when] these [G3778] entered [G1525] into [G1519] house [G3624] of Micah, and [G2532] took [G2983] the [G3588] carved [image , and [G2532] the [G3588] ephod , and [G2532] the [G3588] teraphim , and [G2532] the [G3588] molten [image , that [G2532] said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473] the [G3588] priest [G2409], What [G5100] do you do [G1473][G4160]?
19: And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473], Be silent , place [G2007] the [G3588] your hand [G5495][G1473] over [G1909] the [G3588] your mouth [G4750][G1473], and [G2532] come [G2064] with [G3326] us [G1473]! and [G2532] you will be to us [G1473] for [G1519] a father [G3962] and [G2532] for [G1519] a priest [G2409]. [Is it] not [G3361] better [for] you to be [G1473] a priest [G2409] of house [G3624] man of one [G1520], or [G2228] [for] you to be [G1096][G1473] priest [G2409] of a tribe [G5443] and [G2532] kin [G4772] in [G1722] Israel?
20: And [G2532] it was good to the [G3588] heart [G2588] of the [G3588] priest [G2409]. And [G2532] he took [G2983] the [G3588] ephod , and [G2532] the [G3588] teraphim , and [G2532] the [G3588] carved [image , and [G2532] the [G3588] molten [image , and [G2532] entered [G1525] into [G1722] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] people [G2992].
21: And [G2532] they turned [G1994] and [G2532] went forth , and [G2532] put [G5087] the [G3588] children [G5043], and [G2532] the [G3588] property , and [G2532] the [G3588] load before [G1715] them [G1473].
22: And they [G1473][G1161] were far from house [G3624] of Micah, and [G2532] look [G2400], Micah and [G2532] the [G3588] men the [G3588] in [G1722] the [G3588] houses [G3614], the [G3588] near [G3326] the [G3588] house [G3624] of Micah cried out [G2896], and [G2532] they overtook [G2638] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan.
23: And [G2532] they yelled to [G4314] sons [G5207] of Dan. And [G2532] turned [G1994] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan the [G3588]ir faces [G4383][G1473], and [G2532] they said [G2036] to the [G3588] Micah, What [G5100] is it to you [G1473] that [G3754] you cry out [G2896]?
24: And [G2532] he said [G2036], the [G3588] gods '[G2316] which [G3739] I made [G4160] you took [G2983], and [G2532] the [G3588] priest [G2409], and [G2532] you departed . And [G2532] what [is there [G5100] to me [G1473] still [G2089]? And [G2532] what [G5100] [is] this [G3778] you say to me [G1473][G3004], Why [G5100] [is] this [G3778] [that] you cry out [G2896]?
25: And [G2532] said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan], should not [G3361] be heard the [G3588] Your voice [G5456][G1473] with [G3326] us [G1473], lest at any time [G3379] should confront you [G1473] men in severe pain of soul [G5590][G1473], and [G2532] you will add [G4369] the [G3588] your life [G5590][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] life [G5590] of the [G3588] your household [G3624][G1473].
26: And [G2532] went [G4198] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan] on [G1519] the [G3588]ir way [G3598][G1473]. And [G2532] Micah saw [G1492] that [G3754] too mighty [G2478] for him [G1473] they are , and [G2532] he turned aside [G1593] and [G2532] returned to [G1519] the [G3588] his house [G3624][G1473].
27: And [G2532] they [G1473] took [G2983] as much as [G3745] Micah made [G4160], and [G2532] the [G3588] priest [G2409] who [G3739] was with him [G1473], and [G2532] they went [G2064] unto [G1909] Laish, upon [G1909] a people [G2992] being tranquil [G2270], and [G2532] being secure [G3982]. And [G2532] they struck [G3960] them [G1473] by [G1722] mouth [G4750] of broadsword [G4501], and [G2532] the [G3588] city [G4172] they burned [G1714] by fire [G4442].
28: And [G2532] there is no [G3756] the [G3588] [one] rescuing [G1807], for [G3754] it is far [G3112] from Sidon, and [G2532] communication [G3056] not [G3756] is to them [G1473] with [G3326] man ; and [G2532] it [G1473] [is] in [G1722] the [G3588] valley which [G3739] is of the [G3588] house [G3624] of Rehob. And [G2532] they built [up [G3618] the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] dwelt [G2730] in [G1722] it [G1473].
29: And [G2532] they called [G2564] the [G3588] name [G3686] of the [G3588] city [G4172] Dan, according to [G2596] the [G3588] name [G3686] of Dan the [G3588]ir father [G3962][G1473], who [G3739] was born [G1096] the [G3588] to Israel. And [G2532] was Laish name [G3686] to the [G3588] city [G4172] for the [G3588]merly [G4387].
30: And [G2532] set up [G2476] for themselves [G1438] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Dan] the [G3588] carved [image . And [G2532] Jonathan, son [G5207] of Gershom, son [G5207] of Manasseh, he [G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] his sons [G5207][G1473] were priests [G2409] to the [G3588] tribe [G5443] of Dan until [G2193] day [G2250] of the [G3588] displacement [G3350] of the [G3588] land '[G1093].
31: And [G2532] they themselves stationed [G5021][G1438] the [G3588] carved [image Micah made [G4160] all [G3956] the [G3588] days [G2250], as many as [G3745] was the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] in [G1722] Shiloh. And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] in [G1722] the [G3588] those days [G2250][G1565] no [G3756] there was king in [G1722] Israel.
