Translations
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.)
Gid'on said to them, "Let me make one request of you: each man give me the ring from his plunder" — for they had gold rings, since they were Yishma'elim.
Gideon said, "I have just one request: each of you give me a gold ring from your plunder" — for these enemies had been Ishmaelites who wore gold rings.
Then he added, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
