Berean Standard Bible

“Now a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim”

Judges 17:1

Save as image

Study note

Judges 17 begins the book's final section, often called the appendix, where the stories show Israel's moral collapse rather than a rescuing judge. It introduces Micah, a man from the hill country of Ephraim, who steals from his mother and then makes a private shrine.
