And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Here we read of many gods. And indeed, when the one true God be not thought enough, the corrupt heart will, if tempted thereto, multiply him to thousands. An Ephod, was a garment. And a Teraphim, which is plural, means many images, under the pretence of consulting them as occasion required. Observe, his son is the priest, and himself the person to consecrate. As with the people, so with the priest.
