"Now the six hundred men, who were all armed, were standing before the door. "
— Judges 18:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.”
“And the six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate. ”
“The six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.”
“Meanwhile the six hundred Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate.”
“And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.”
“And the six hundred armed men of the Danites took their places by the doorway.”
“And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.”
From there, they crossed over to mount Ephraim. And when they had arrived at the house of Micah,
the five men, who before had been sent to consider the land of Laish, said to the rest of their brothers: “You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a molten idol and a graven image. Consider what it may please you to do.”
And when they had turned aside a little, they entered the house of the Levite youth, who was in the house of Micah. And they greeted him with peaceful words.
Now the six hundred men, who were all armed, were standing before the door.
But those who had entered the house of the youth strove to take away the graven image, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. But the priest was standing in front of the door, with the six hundred very strong men waiting not far away.
And so, those who had entered took away the graven image, the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. And the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
And they responded to him: “Be silent and place your finger over your mouth. And come with us, so that we may have you as a father as well as a priest. For which is better for you: to be a priest in the house of one man, or in one tribe and family in Israel?”
