Judges 8:26 in Context — Judges 8

24 Gédéon leur dit: J’ai une demande à vous faire: donnez-moi chacun les anneaux que vous avez eus pour butin. Les ennemis avaient des anneaux d’or, car ils étaient Ismaélites.

25 Ils dirent: Nous les donnerons volontiers. Et ils étendirent un manteau, sur lequel chacun jeta les anneaux de son butin.

26 Le poids des anneaux d’or que demanda Gédéon fut de mille sept cents sicles d’or, sans les croissants, les pendants d’oreilles, et les vêtements de pourpre que portaient les rois de Madian, et sans les colliers qui étaient aux cous de leurs chameaux.

27 Gédéon en fit un éphod, et il le plaça dans sa ville, à Ophra, où il devint l’objet des prostitutions de tout Israël; et il fut un piège pour Gédéon et pour sa maison.

28 Madian fut humilié devant les enfants d’Israël, et il ne leva plus la tête. Et le pays fut en repos pendant quarante ans, durant la vie de Gédéon.
