2 So the children of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from ^aZorah and Eshtaol, ^bto spy out the land and search it. They said to them, “Go, search the land.” So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the ^chouse of Micah, and lodged there.  ‡

3 While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?”

5 So they said to him, “Please ^ainquire of ^bGod, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.”  ‡

6 And the priest said to them, ^a“Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.”  ‡
