What is happening here?
A man named Micah confesses that he stole silver from his mother. She dedicates part of the returned silver to the LORD, but it is made into a graven and molten image. Micah establishes a private shrine, makes an ephod and teraphim, installs one of his sons as priest, and later hires a wandering Levite. The chapter ends with Micah assuming that the LORD will bless him because he now has a Levite as priest.
