Judges 8:27 in Context — Judges 8

25 Y ellos respondieron: De buena gana los daremos. Y tendiendo una ropa de vestir, echó allí cada uno los zarcillos de su despojo.

26 Y fué el peso de los zarcillos de oro que él pidió, mil y setecientos [siclos] de oro; sin las planchas, y joyeles, y vestidos de púrpura, que traían los reyes de Madián, y sin los collares que traían sus camellos al cuello.

27 Y Gedeón hizo de ellos un ephod, el cual hizo guardar en su ciudad de Ophra: y todo Israel fornicó tras de ese [ephod] en aquel lugar; y fué por tropiezo á Gedeón y á su casa.

28 Así fué humillado Madián delante de los hijos de Israel, y nunca más levantaron su cabeza. Y reposó la tierra cuarenta años en los días de Gedeón.

29 Y Jerobaal hijo de Joas fué, y habitó en su casa.
