Alors les cinq hommes qui étaient allés pour explorer le pays de Laïs, prenant la parole, dirent à leurs frères: Savez-vous que dans ces maisons il y a un éphod et des théraphim, une image taillée et une image de fonte? Voyez donc maintenant ce que vous avez à faire.
Louis Segond (1910)
Alors les cinq hommes qui étaient allés pour explorer le pays de Laïs prirent la parole et dirent à leurs frères: Savez-vous qu'il y a dans ces maisons-là un éphod, des théraphim, une image taillée et une image en fonte? Voyez maintenant ce que vous avez à faire.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Alors les cinq hommes qui étaient allés pour reconnaître le pays de Laïs, prenant la parole, dirent à leurs frères : Savez-vous bien qu'en ces maisons il y a un Ephod et des Théraphims, une image de taille et une de fonte ? Voyez donc maintenant ce que vous aurez à faire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then they answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish,.... That were sent by their brethren, Judges 18:5 and, as it seems from hence, were sent particularly to Laish; they had some notion of that place as proper for them, and therefore sent those men to reconnoitre it; and now as they had passed this way before, when they came within sight of Micah's house, it put them in mind of what they had seen there; wherefore one in the name of the rest, and with their approbation, acquainted the company with it:

and said unto their brethren, do ye know that there is in those houses; in one of them, pointing to the houses of a village or town in sight:

an ephod and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? of which see Judges 17:4 and no doubt but they acquainted them, only that they had seen them, and so were certain but had consulted them, and that with success:

now therefore consider, say they,

what ye have to do; whether it may not be proper to consult them again, or rather to take them with us, to consult as occasion may require, and as tokens and pledges of God being with us, and so may the rather hope that everything will succeed to our wishes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In these houses - This agrees with what we saw at Judges 18:2-3 that the “house of God†and Jonathan’s house were detached from Micah’s. There were other houses besides Judges 18:22. The whole settlement was probably called Beth-Micah, contained in one court, and entered by one gate Judges 18:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 18:14. Consider what ye have to do. — They probably had formed the design to carry off the priest and his sacred utensils.
