9 And you must gird them with the sashes, Aaron as well as his sons, and you must wrap the headgear upon them; and the priesthood must become theirs as a statute to time indefinite.*+ So you must fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons with power.+

12 Furthermore, Miʹcah filled the hand of the Levite with power,+ that the young man might serve as a priest+ for him and might continue in the house of Miʹcah.

33 After this thing Jer·o·boʹam did not turn back from his bad way, but he again went making priests of high places from the people in general.+ As for anyone delighting in it, he would fill his hand with power,*+ [saying]: “And let him become [one of the] priests* of high places.”

9 Have YOU not driven out Jehovah’s priests,+ the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and do YOU not keep making priests for yourselves like the peoples of the lands?+ As for anyone that came and filled his hand with power* by means of a young bull* and seven rams, he became a priest of what are no gods.*+
