4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus Micah has done with me and has hired me that I may be his priest.
5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel now, therefore, of God, that we may know whether he shall prosper our journey which we do.
6 And the priest replied unto them, Go in peace. Your journey which ye do is before the Lord.
7 Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw that the people that dwelt there were secure, idle, and confident after the manner of the Zidonians; and there was no one in that land that might hinder them in any way from possessing that land; furthermore they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with anyone.
8 And they returned unto their brethren in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
9 And they said, Arise, let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good; and are ye to remain still? Do not be slothful to go and to enter to possess the land.
10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure and to a large land, for God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
