Judges 8:22-27

22Then the IsraelitesH376H3478 saidH559 toH413 GideonH1439, “RuleH4910 over us—youH859 andH1571 your sonH1121H1571 andH1571 grandsonH1121—forH3588 you have saved usH3467 from the handH3027 of MidianH4080.”

23But GideonH1439 repliedH559H413, “IH589 will notH3808 ruleH4910 over you, norH3808 willH4910 my sonH1121. The LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.”

24Then heH1439 addedH559, “Let me make a requestH7592H7596 of you, that each of youH376 giveH5414 me an earringH5141 from his plunderH7998.” (ForH3588 the enemies had goldH2091 earringsH5141 becauseH3588 theyH1992 were IshmaelitesH3459.)

25“We will give them gladlyH5414,” they repliedH559.

So they spread outH6566 a garmentH8071, and each manH376 threwH7993 an earringH5141 from his plunderH7998 onto itH8033. 26The weightH4948 of the goldH2091 earringsH5141 he had requestedH7592 wasH1961 1,700H505H7651H3967 shekels,1 in addition toH905H4480 the crescent ornamentsH7720, the pendantsH5188, the purpleH713 garmentsH899 ofH5921 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080H905H4480, and the chainsH6060 from the necksH6677 of their camelsH1581.

27From all this GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646, which he placedH3322 in OphrahH6084, his hometownH5892. But soon allH3605 IsraelH3478 prostituted themselvesH2181 by worshiping itH310 thereH8033, and it becameH1961 a snareH4170 to GideonH1439 and his householdH1004.
