New English Translation

25 They captured the two Midianite generals, Oreb and Zeeb.[a] They executed Oreb on the rock of Oreb and Zeeb[b] in the winepress of Zeeb. They chased the Midianites[c] and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was now on the other side of the Jordan River.[d]

Footnotes

  1. Judges 7:25 sn The names Oreb and Zeeb, which mean “Raven” and “Wolf” respectively, are appropriate because the Midianites had been like scavengers and predators to Israel.
  2. Judges 7:25 tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  3. Judges 7:25 tn Heb “Midian.”
  4. Judges 7:25 tn Heb “beyond the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity (also in 8:4).
