Her mother then gave two hundred to the founder so that she could make a carved image and a metal idol, which she placed in Micah's house, entrusting her worship to one of her sons.
Shortly afterward they asked a passing Levite to remain as a priest of this degenerate cult. Micah thought that a Levite, even if he did not have the priestly anointing, could take advantage of his Ephraimite son.
The Levite agreed, in exchange for money and his support, to celebrate these idolatrous rites, violating the second commandment. Then the Danites, who were migrating northward (see DAN), persuaded this Levite to follow them, taking with them, despite Micah's protests, their cast idol (Judges 17 and 18). ).
