Judges 17:5

³⁰Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”

¹⁹Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim^[+] that were her father’s.

²⁷Gideon made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

¹⁴Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim,^[+] and a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”

²⁴He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away! What more do I have? How can you ask me, ‘What ails you?’”

⁴For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.

¹⁵“You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

⁹You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and his sons, and bind headbands on them. They shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute. You shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

⁴Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

¹⁴For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
