Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an oxis as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb,as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation,as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense,as if he blessed an idol.

The context is set in the period of the Judges, a time characterized by moral and spiritual decline in Israel. The return of the silver suggests a resolution of a previous wrongdoing, as the silver was initially stolen. The number eleven hundred is notable, as it is the same amount Delilah received from the Philistine lords to betray Samson ( Judges 16:5), indicating a recurring theme of betrayal and moral compromise. she said, “I wholly dedicate the silver to the LORD for my son’s benefit The mother's declaration of dedicating the silver to the LORD reflects a common practice of making vows or dedicating possessions to God, as seen inLeviticus 27. However, her intention to use the silver for idolatry contradicts the commandment against graven images (Exodus 20:4). This reflects the syncretism prevalent in Israel during the Judges era, where worship of Yahweh was often mixed with pagan practices. to make a graven image and a molten idol The creation of a graven image and a molten idol directly violates the second commandment (Exodus 20:4-5). This act underscores the spiritual confusion and apostasy in Israel at the time. The use of silver for idol-making is reminiscent of the golden calf incident (Exodus 32), where the Israelites also fell into idolatry shortly after receiving the law. This highlights the recurring struggle with idolatry throughout Israel's history. Therefore I will now return it to you.” The mother's decision to return the silver to her son for idol-making purposes reveals a misguided attempt to honor God, reflecting the moral ambiguity and lack of spiritual leadership during the time of the Judges. This act sets the stage for the establishment of a private shrine, which further deviates from the centralized worship prescribed inDeuteronomy 12. The narrative foreshadows the eventual establishment of a rival religious center in Dan (Judges 18), illustrating the fragmentation and decentralization of worship in Israel. Persons / Places / Events 1. MicahA man from the hill country of Ephraim who steals silver from his mother and later returns it. 2. Micah's MotherShe dedicates the returned silver to the LORD but uses it to create an idol, reflecting a syncretistic form of worship. 3. EphraimThe region where Micah and his mother live, significant in Israel's history as a central location for various events. 4. The SilverEleven hundred shekels of silver, initially stolen by Micah, then returned and used to make an idol. 5. IdolatryThe creation of a carved image and a cast idol, which is contrary to the commandments given to Israel. Teaching Points The Danger of SyncretismMixing true worship with idolatry leads to spiritual confusion and disobedience. Believers must guard against incorporating worldly practices into their faith. The Importance of ObedienceTrue dedication to God is shown through obedience to His commandments, not through misguided religious acts. The Influence of FamilyMicah's actions were influenced by his mother, highlighting the impact family can have on one's spiritual life. Families should encourage biblical faithfulness. The Deceptiveness of WealthThe silver, though dedicated to God, becomes a tool for idolatry. Wealth should be used in ways that honor God, not lead to sin. The Need for True WorshipGod desires worship that is in spirit and truth, not based on human inventions or traditions. Bible Study Questions and Answers 1.What is the meaning of Judges 17:3?

14.Joshua 24:14-15 - How does this pledge to exclusively serve the Lord reconcile with the later biblical narratives showing continued idolatry in Israel?What Does Judges 17:3 Mean He returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his motherMicah had taken this sizable sum, then confessed and restored it (Judges 17:1-2). His act echoes the restitution principle—“If a man steals an ox or a sheep…he must pay back” (Exodus 22:1). The narrative shows the outward form of repentance, yet it happens in a climate where “every man did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6). What looks like a good start soon drifts off course. I wholly dedicate the silver to the LORDThe mother’s vow sounds devout, reminiscent of Hannah’s pledge, “I give him to the LORD” (1 Samuel 1:28). Scripture welcomes genuine vows (Leviticus 27:2), and the language “wholly dedicate” affirms that everything belongs to God (Psalm 24:1). Yet devotion must match God’s revealed will; obedience is “better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). Here the verbal tribute masks a troubling plan. For my son’s benefitHer motive is to bless Micah. Parents rightly seek their children’s good (Proverbs 13:22), and God delights to bless families (Deuteronomy 6:3). Still, spiritual welfare can never be secured through disobedience. Jesus warned, “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26). Love that bypasses God’s commands ultimately harms the very people it aims to help. To make a graven image and a molten idolThis purpose flatly contradicts “You shall not make for yourself a carved image” (Exodus 20:4), reinforced inDeuteronomy 27:15 and highlighted by the golden-calf disaster (Exodus 32:4). Mixing Yahweh’s name with an idol is spiritual syncretism—the heart of Israel’s recurring downfall (2 Kings 17:41). The mother’s plan shows how far the nation’s conscience had drifted: calling an idol “for the LORD” does not sanctify it. Therefore I will now return it to youShe hands the silver back so Micah can commission the idol, entrenching private religion in place of “the place the LORD will choose” (Deuteronomy 12:11-13). This action sets the stage for Micah’s household shrine (Judges 17:5) and later the tribe of Dan’s adoption of the same idolatry (Judges 18:30-31). Personal decisions ripple outward; sin rarely stays isolated. summaryJudges 17:3 reveals a veneer of piety covering blatant disobedience. A mother and son speak of dedicating treasure to the LORD but immediately channel it into forbidden images. The episode illustrates the spiritual confusion of the era: sincerity detached from Scripture breeds idolatry. True devotion requires wholehearted submission to God’s commands, not merely religious language or family affection cloaked in disobedience. (3) I had wholly dedicated the silver.--Literally, Consecrating, I consecrated--either, "I have nowconsecrated it" as a thanksgiving for its restoration, or "I had done so before it was stolen." For my son--i.e.,for your benefit. To make a graven image and a molten image.--Whether in the universal decadence of religion, the people, untaught by a careless priesthood, had become ignorant of the second commandment, or whether she justified her conduct by the same considerations which have been used even in the Christian Church in favour of image-worship, we cannot tell. The word used for a graven image ispesel,and for a molten image ismassecah.They are the very words used in the curse against idolaters inDeuteronomy 27:15. Some suppose the two words to be used by Hendiadys (like "cups and gold" for "golden cups" ) to describeone silver imageadorned with sculptured ornament. All that is clear is that thepeselis the more prominent, but the details are left quite vague. It is therefore impossible to determine whether the graven and molten image consisted of one or of two silver "calves," like that of the wilderness, and those afterwards set up by Jeroboam at Dan and Bethel.This,however, was a form which the violation of the second commandment was constantly liable to take, and it probably involved much less blame than other violations of it--not,as is often stated, because the Israelites had become familiar with the worship of Apis and Mnevis in Egypt, but because the calf was a recognised cherubic emblem, and had consequently been deliberately sanctioned in the symbolism of the Temple. (SeeExodus 20:4;Exodus 20:23;Exodus 32:4-5;1Kings 7:25, &c.) Some suppose that themassecahwas the pedestal of thepesel,and that it was too heavy for the Danites to carry away, since it is not mentioned among the things which they seized. . . . Verse 3. - I had wholly dedicated. It is not clear whether the words are to be rendered as in the A.V., haddedicated, expressing the dedication of them before they were stolen, or whether they merely express her present purpose so to dedicate them. But the A.V. makes very good sense. Her former purpose had been that the money should be given for her son's benefit to make his house an house of gods. Now that he had confessed, she resumed her purpose. Now therefore I restore it unto thee - that is, in the shape of the graven and molten images, as it follows in the next verse. The narrative gives a curious example of the semi-idolatry of the times. A graven image and a molten image. There is a good deal of difficulty in assigning the exact meaning of the two words here used, and their relation to one another in the worship to which they belong. The molten image ( massechah), however, seems to be pretty certainly the metal, here the silver, image of a calf, the form which the corrupt worship of Jehovah took from the time when Aaron made the molten calf ( Exodus 32:4, called there ' egel massechah, a molten calf) to the time when Jeroboam set up the golden calves at Dan and Bethel ( 1 Kings 12:28, 29). And that massechah means something molten is certain both from its etymology ( nasach, to pour) and from what Aaron said in Exodus 32:24: "I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf." Here too Micah's mother gives the silver to the founder, i.e. to the fuser of metals. The pesel, or graven image, on the other hand, is something hewn or graven, whether in wood or stone, and sometimes overlaid with gold and silver ( Deuteronomy 7:25). One might have thought, from the language of ver. 4, and from the mention of the pesel alone in Judges 18:30, 31, that only one image is here intended, which was graven with the chisel after it was cast, as Aaron's calf seems to have been. But in Judges 18:17, 18 they are mentioned separately, with the ephod and teraphim named between them, so that they must be distinct. From the above passages the pesel or graven image would seem to have been the most important object, and the difficulty is to assign the true relation of the massechah or molten image to it. Hengstenberg thinks the massechah was a pedestal on which the pesel stood, and that the ephod was the robe with which the pesel was clothed, and that the teraphim were certain tokens or emblems attached to the ephod which gave oracular answers. But this is not much more than guess-work. Berthean considers the ephod, here as elsewhere, to be the priest's garment, put on when performing the most solemn services, and specially when seeking an answer from God. And he thinks that the massechah formed a part of the ornament of the ephod, because in Judges 18:18 the Hebrew has "the pesel of the ephod." The teraphin he thinks are idols, a kind of Dii minores associated with the worship of Jehovah in this impure worship. But there does not seem to be any means at present of arriving at any certainty. The massechah might be a rich gold or silver overlaying of the wooden image, possibly movable, or it might be the separate image of a calf supposed to belong, as it were, to the pesel, and to symbolise the attributes of the Godhead.
