Judges 8:27 in Context — Judges 8

25 E eles responderam: De boa vontade os daremos. E segurando uma roupa de vestir, lançou ali cada um os pendentes de seu despojo.

26 E foi o peso dos pendentes de ouro que ele pediu mil e setecentos siclos de ouro; sem contar os ornamentos, e as joias, e vestidos de púrpura, que traziam os reis de Midiã, e sem os colares que traziam seus camelos ao pescoço.

27 E Gideão fez deles um éfode, o qual fez guardar em sua cidade de Ofra: e todo Israel prostituiu-se atrás desse éfode naquele lugar; e foi por tropeço a Gideão e a sua casa.

28 Assim foi humilhado Midiã diante dos filhos de Israel, e nunca mais levantaram sua cabeça. E repousou a terra quarenta anos nos dias de Gideão.

29 E Jerubaal filho de Joás foi, e habitou em sua casa.
