Sdc 17, 1-13

1 In that time, there was a certain man, from mount Ephraim, named Micah. 2 And he said to his mother, “The one thousand one hundred silver coins, which you had separated for yourself, and about which you had sworn in my hearing, behold, I have them, and they are with me.” And she answered him, “My son has been blessed by the Lord.” 3 Therefore, he restored them to his mother. And she said to him: “I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, so that my son would receive it from my hand, and would make a molten idol and a graven image. And now I deliver it to you.” 4 And when he restored these to his mother, she took two hundred of the silver coins, and she gave them to the silversmith, so that he might make from them a molten idol and a graven image. And it was in the house of Micah. 5 And he also separated in it a little shrine for the god. And he made an ephod and theraphim, that is, a priestly garment and idols. And he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. 6 In those days, there was no king in Israel. Instead, each one did what seemed right to himself. 7 Also, there was another young man, from Bethlehem of Judah, one of his relatives. And he himself was a Levite, and he was living there. 8 Then, departing from the city of Bethlehem, he wished to sojourn wherever he would find it beneficial to himself. And when he had arrived at mount Ephraim, while making the journey, he also turned aside for a little while to the house of Micah. 9 And he was asked by him where he came from. And he responded: “I am a Levite from Bethlehem of Judah. And I am traveling so that I may live where I am able, if I perceive it to be useful to me.” 10 And Micah said: “Stay with me. And you shall be to me like a parent and a priest. And I will give to you, each year, ten silver coins, and a double-layered garment, and whatever provisions are necessary.” 11 He agreed, and he stayed with the man. And he was to him like one of his sons. 12 And Micah filled his hand, and he had the young man with him as his priest, 13 saying: “Now I know that God will be good to me, since I have a priest from the stock of the Levites.”

Sdc 17, 1-13





Verš 6
In those days, there was no king in Israel. Instead, each one did what seemed right to himself.
Sdc 18:1 - In those days, there was no king in Israel. And the tribe of Dan sought a possession for themselves, so that they might live in it. For even to that day, they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
Sdc 21:25 -

Sdc 17,1 - Nasledujúce kapitoly sú obrazom rýchleho duchovného úpadku Izraela po smrti Jozueho. Tu spomínané udalosti treba časove umiestiť krátko po smrti Jozueho, teda ešte pred dobu Sudcov. (Spomína sa tu Finés, súčasník Jozueho, porov. 20,28 s Joz 22,13) – Micha (hebr. Michejahú) znamená: Kto je ako Jahve?

Sdc 17,2 - Miesto "ktoré ti vzali" má Vg: "ktoré si si oddelila". Matka prekliala neznámeho zlodeja, ktorý jej bol ukradol veľkú sumu, (1 100 strieborných šeklov je asi 15 kg striebra; porov. 16,5) pred vlastným synom, o ktorom ani netušila, že on bol tým zlodejom. Matka i syn boli presvedčení, že kliatba i požehnanie pôsobia neomylne. Preto syn hneď peniaze vracia matke, aby ho kliatba nezastihla, a matka zas kliatbu odvoláva a zvoláva požehnanie na svojho syna.

Sdc 17,3 - Modla s obťahom (Vg: "socha vyrezávaná a liata"; hebr. "pesel umassécha"). – "Pesel" je socha vyrezaná z dreva alebo vykresaná z kameňa; "massécha" je socha zo zlata alebo zo striebra. Oba hebr. výrazy (pesel a massécha) tu znamenajú len jednu sochu, t. j. drevenú (bola svätejšia), ktorá bola obtiahnutá striebrom, čiže postriebrená (taká bola drahšia).

Sdc 17,4 - Syn odmieta previesť venovanie matkino, vracia jej peniaze. Preto dala sama urobiť modlu z 200 šeklov striebra. Keď aj bola ctiteľkou pravého Boha, predsa robila proti zákonu, ktorý zakazoval zobrazovať Boha (Ex 20,4; Dt 4,15). Modla bola umiestená v Michovom dome.

Sdc 17,5 - "Efód" bola nejaká napodobenina veľkňazského efódu (porov. Ex 28,6 nn.); "terafim" – domáci bôžikovia (penates), porov. Gn 31,19; tu to boli asi nejaké vedľajšie sošky pred modlou Jahveho.

Sdc 17,7-9 - Potulný levita (podľa 18,30 sa menoval Jonatán) pochádzal z niektorého levitského mesta v území Júdovom. V Betleheme, ktorý nebol levitským mestom (porov. Joz 21,9 nn.), zdržoval sa len ako hosť, "ako cudzinec".

Sdc 17,13 - Micha (a azda aj jeho súčasníci) bol v omyle, lebo levita nemal právo konať bohoslužobné úkony, ktoré boli vyhradené kňazom, a to tým menej pred modlou Jahveho.
