18:17 The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole ⁴  the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred fully armed men. ⁵  18:18 When these men broke into Micah’s house and stole ⁶  the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
