Judges 8:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ The weight of the ornamental rings of gold that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, apart from the crescents, pendants, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and apart from the pendants that were on the necks of their camels. ²⁷ Gideon made an ephod out of it, and he put it in his town in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves to it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family. ²⁸ And Midian was subdued before the Israelites,^[a] and they did not again lift up their head, and the land rested for forty years in the days of Gideon.
