In life it’s easy to be deceived; both by others and, sadly, by ourselves. Micah’s Levite priest illustrates this. Having accepted Micah’s request to become his priest, the Levite chooses effectively to run a cultic site (Judg. 17:1–10), disobeying God’s instructions (Num. 35:5–8). It’s worth noting this was at a time when there was no leadership
in Israel (Judg. 17:6).
