Judges 8:25 DBY

²³  Gideon said to them, 'I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the LORD will rule over you.'

²⁴  And Gideon said to them, 'Let me make a request of you; give me every man of you the earrings of his spoil.' (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ish'maelites.)

²⁵  And they answered, 'We will willingly give them.' And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil.

²⁶  And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.

²⁷  And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah; and all Israel played the harlot after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family.
