NASB
"They said, "We will surely give them." So they spread out a garment, and every one of them threw an earring there from his spoil."
— Judges 8:25, NASB
“And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.”
“And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his spoil. ”
“They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his spoil into it.”
“They said,“We are happy to give you earrings.” So they spread out a garment, and each one threw an earring from his plunder onto it.”
“They answered: We will give them most willingly. And spreading a mantle on the ground, they cast upon it the earlets of the spoils.”
“And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.”
“And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.”
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."
But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."
Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
They said, "We will surely give them." So they spread out a garment, and every one of them threw an earring there from his spoil.
The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the neck bands that were on their camels' necks.
Gideon made it into an ephod, and placed it in his city, Ophrah, and all Israel played the harlot with it there, so that it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.
