24 And Gideon said to them, “I would like to make a request of you?, that would give to me, each of you, the rings from his plunder.” (For gold rings were unto them, because they were Ishmaelites.) 25 And they answered, “We will give them gladly.” And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the rings from his plunder. 26 And the weight of the gold rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, apart from the crescent ornaments and pendants and purple robes that were on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains that were around the necks of their camels. 27 And Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel played the prostitute with it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house. Judges 8:24-27, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
