Judges 8:24-27
New King James Version
24 Then Gideon said to them, “I would like to [a]make a request of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from his plunder.” For they had golden earrings, (A)because they were Ishmaelites.
25 So they answered, “We will gladly give them.” And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the earrings from his plunder. 26 Now the weight of the gold earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels’ necks. 27 Then Gideon (B)made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, (C)Ophrah. And all Israel (D)played the harlot with it there. It became (E)a snare to Gideon and to his house.

Palabra de Dios para Todos
24 Y también les dijo:
—Quiero que hagan algo por mí, que cada uno me entregue un anillo de oro de los que obtuvieron en el botín.
Es que los ismaelitas acostumbraban usar anillos de oro. 25 Y ellos respondieron:
—Claro que te daremos lo que pides.
Extendieron un abrigo en el suelo y cada uno puso una joya. 26 El oro de las joyas que pusieron pesó en total 19 kilos[a], sin incluir otros regalos que el pueblo de Israel le entregó a Gedeón. Le regalaron adornos en forma de medialuna y en forma de lágrimas. Le regalaron también las capas púrpuras que eran de los reyes madianitas, y los collares de sus camellos.
27 Gedeón hizo un efod con el oro y lo llevó a Ofra, su ciudad natal. Todo Israel adoró el efod y no fue fiel al Señor[b]. Por eso el efod se convirtió en una trampa que hizo que Gedeón y su familia pecaran.

King James Version
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

Judges 8:24-27
New International Version
24 And he said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring(A) from your share of the plunder.(B)” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites(C) to wear gold earrings.)
25 They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it. 26 The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels,[a] not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains(D) that were on their camels’ necks. 27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod,(E) which he placed in Ophrah,(F) his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare(G) to Gideon and his family.(H)
