The five men take the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image from Micah’s house, and the priest goes with the people
다섯 사람이 미가의 집에서 새긴 신상과 에봇과 드라빔과 부어만든 신상을 취하고 제사장이 그 백성 중으로 들어감
Judges 18:14–20: then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answer and say to their brothers, “Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.” They go over there and come to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and ask him how he is doing. The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who are of the children of Dan, stand by the entrance of the gate. The five men who went to spy out the land go up, and come in there, and take the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stands by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war. When these go into Micah’s house, and take the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest says to them, “What are you doing?” They say to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?” The priest’s heart is glad, and he takes the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and goes with the people. The Korean Revised Version reads 이 집에 (in this house) at 18:14, and names the five men at 18:18, where WEB says “these”.
