Judges 8:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ “Gladly!” they replied, and spread out a sheet for everyone to throw in the gold earrings he had gathered. ²⁶ Their value was estimated at $25,000, not including the crescents and pendants, or the royal clothing of the kings, or the chains around the camels’ necks. ²⁷ Gideon made an ephod^[a] from the gold and put it in Ophrah, his hometown. But all Israel soon began worshiping it, so it became an evil deed that Gideon and his family did.
