Judges 18:12-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And they went up and encamped in Qiryath Ye‛arim in Yehuḏah. Therefore they call that place Maḥanĕh Ḏan to this day. See, it is west of Qiryath Ye‛arim.

13. And they passed over from there to the mountains of Ephrayim, and came to the house of Miḵah.

14. And the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Layish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there are in these houses a shoulder garment, and house idols, and a carved image, and a moulded image? And now, you know what to do.”

15. And they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Lĕwite man, the house of Miḵah, and greeted him.

16. And the six hundred men, armed for battle, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

17. And the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entering there, they took the carved image, and the shoulder garment, and the house idols, and the moulded image, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men who were armed for battle.
