²⁷ Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.

¹³ Then said Micah, Now know I that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

³¹ And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.

² And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall they burn upon thee.

¹⁵ and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he-goats, and for the calves which he had made.
