lesserot - Judges:8:22-27

lesserot@Judges:8:22 @ And the men of Israel said unto Gidon, Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy sons son also; for thou hast delivered us out of the hand of Midian.

lesserot@Judges:8:23 @ And Gidon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.

lesserot@Judges:8:24 @ And Gidon said unto them, I would ask one request of you, that ye should give me every man the earring of his booty; for they had had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

lesserot@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, We will willingly give. And they spread out a garment, and they cast therein every man the earring of his booty.

lesserot@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he had requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescent ornaments, and eardrops, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels necks.

lesserot@Judges:8:27 @ And Gidon made thereof an ephod, and set it up in his city, in Ophrah: and all Israel went astray after it thither; and it became a snare unto Gidon, and to his house.
