In this episode we delve into the dark period of Israel's history during the time of the Judges, focusing on Judges Chapter 17. We explore the story of Micah, a man from the hill country of Ephraim, who builds a personal shrine filled with idols and hires a Levite priest to serve him. This Levite exemplifies the rapid spiritual decline of Israel, as he accepts a position as a personal priest rather than being a priest to God for the nation. The tribe of Dan further exemplifies this decay by abandoning their God-given land and conquering the city of Laish, soon establishing idolatry as a norm.
