Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

The priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went in the midst of the people.
He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, 'What ails you?'"
