The Continuing Conquest of Canaan^(A)

1 Now after the ^(B)death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel ^(C)asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the ^(D)Canaanites to fight against them?”

⁵ The man Micah had a ^(A)shrine, and made an ^(B)ephod and ^(C)household^[a] idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

^14 (A)Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brethren, “Do you know that ^(B)there are in these houses an ephod, household idols, a carved image, and a molded image? Now therefore, consider what you should do.”
