Gideon's Ephod
22
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also, for you have saved us from the hand of Midian."
23
Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; 1the LORD will rule over you."
24
And Gideon said to them, "Let me make a request of you: every one of you give me the earrings from his spoil." (For they had golden earrings, 2because they were Ishmaelites.)
25
And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a cloak, and every man threw in it the earrings of his spoil.
26
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekelsa of gold, besides 3the crescent ornaments and 4the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and besides the collars that were around the necks of their camels.
27
And Gideon 5made an ephod of it and put it in his city, 6in Ophrah. And all Israel 7whored after it there, and it became a 8snare to Gideon and to his family.
28
So Midian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they raised their heads no more. 9And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
