consecrated: Judges 17:5
his priest: Judges 18:30, Numbers 16:5, Numbers 16:8-10, 1 Kings 12:31, 1 Kings 13:33, 1 Kings 13:34
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Micah consecrated the Levite,.... Installed him into, and invested him with the priestly office; in like manner he had consecrated his son before, by filling his hand with sacrifices; see
Judges 17:5
and the young man became his priest; and did the work and office of one; this was a very daring piece of presumption in them both; in Micah, to take upon him to consecrate a priest, who was himself of the tribe of Ephraim; and in the young man, to suffer himself to be put into such an office, which did not belong to him, for though every priest was a Levite, or of the tribe of Levi, yet every Levite had not a right to be a priest, only those who were of the family of Aaron:
and was in the house of Micah; and continued there.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 17:12. Micah consecrated the Levite — ×•×™×ž×œ× ×ת יד vayemalle eth yad, he filled his hands, i.e., he gave him an offering to present before the Lord, that he might be accepted by him. He appointed him to be priest; God was to accept and consecrate him; and for this purpose he filled his hand; i.e., furnished him with the proper offering which he was to present on his inauguration.
