GIDEON, Makes an ephod which becomes a snare to the Israelites

Judges 8:24-27

24. GIDEON said to them, "I do have a request, that you would each give me the earrings of his plunder." (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

25. They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his plunder into it.

26. The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.

27. GIDEON made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to GIDEON, and to his house.
