The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest; or, "filled the hand" k of one of them; that is, with offerings, as Ben Melech interprets it; in which way priests were initiated, and consecrated to their office; see Exodus 28:41 or, as Kimchi expresses it, he offered his offerings by the hand of one of his sons, and appointed him to be a priest, very probably his eldest son.
