ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૧૮:૧૯
તેઓએ તેને કહ્યું, “છાનો રહે! તારો હાથ તારા મુખ પર મૂક અને અમારી સાથે આવ અને અમારો પિતા તથા યાજકો થા. શું એ વધારે સારું નથી કે તારે એક ઘરના યાજકો થવા કરતાં, ઇઝરાયલના એક કુળના યાજક થવું?”
हिन्दीन्यायियों १८:१९
उन्होंने उससे कहा, “चुप रह, अपने मुँह को हाथ से बन्द कर, और हम लोगों के संग चलकर, हमारे लिये पिता और पुरोहित बन। तेरे लिये क्या अच्छा है? यह, कि एक ही मनुष्य के घराने का पुरोहित हो, या यह, कि इस्राएलियों के एक गोत्र और कुल का पुरोहित हो?”

In context

17The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

18When these went into Micah’s house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

19They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”

20The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.

21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods before them.
