1 The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you treated us this way, that you didn’t call us when you went to fight with Midian?” They rebuked him sharply. [4] |

2 He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? [2] |

3 God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger was abated toward him when he had said that. ¶ [4] |

5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” ¶ [3 3] |
|||

7 Gideon said, “Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” ¶ [2] |
|||

8 He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. [3] |

15 He came to the men of Succoth, and said, “See Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?’ ” [3] |
|||
| 16 וַיִּקַּח֙ [3] Pashta אֶת־זִקְנֵ֣י הָעִ֔יר [2] Zaqef וְאֶת־הַֽבַּרְקֳנִ֑ים [1] Etnachta אֵ֖ת [2] Tip'cha אַנְשֵׁ֥י סֻכּֽוֹת׃ [1] Silluq |
16 He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. [3] |

18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?” ¶They answered, “They were like you. They all resembled the children of a king.” ¶ [3] |
|||

20 He said to Jether his firstborn, “Get up and kill them!” But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth. ¶ [3 3] |

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “You rise and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks. ¶ [4] |

22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 23 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ [3] Pashta גִּדְע֔וֹן [2] Zaqef בָּכֶ֔ם [2] Zaqef בָּכֶ֑ם [1] Etnachta יִמְשֹׁ֥ל בָּכֶֽם׃ [1] Silluq |

26 The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, in addition to the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that were about their camels’ necks. [3] |

27 Gideon made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house. [4] |

34 The children of Israel didn’t remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side; [3] |
|||
| 35 וְלֹא־עָשׂ֣וּ חֶ֔סֶד [2] Zaqef עִם־בֵּ֥ית יְרֻבַּ֖עַל [2] Tip'cha גִּדְע֑וֹן [1] Etnachta אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה [2] Tip'cha עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [1] Silluq פ |
