Judges 8:27-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ Gideon made the gold into a sacred breastplate.^[a] He set it up in his town of Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves to it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.

²⁸ In this way Midian was humbled before the people of Israel, and they did not raise their heads again.

The land was quiet for forty years during the days of Gideon.

²⁹ Jerubbaal son of Joash returned and lived in his own house.
