5 As for the man Miʹcah,* he had a house of gods,*+ and he proceeded to make an ephʹod+ and teraphim*+ and to fill the hand of one of his sons with power,*+ that he might serve as priest for him.+

16 When the messengers came in, why, there was the teraphim image on the couch and a net of goats’ hair at the place of his head.

21 For the king of Babylon stood still at the crossways,* at the head of the two ways, in order to resort to divination.+ He has shaken the arrows. He has asked by means of the teraphim;*+ he has looked into the liver.
