And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 8 of Judges. Israel offers to make Gideon its hereditary ruler, but he responds that the Lord should rule over them. Yet Gideon asks for gold and makes an ephod that eventually becomes an object of idolatry. The irony is central: he formally rejects monarchy, but his action creates a new source of religious deviation. The period of rest still depends on a cycle that has not truly been overcome.

Sie sprachen: Die wollen wir geben; und breiteten ein Kleid aus, und ein jeglicher warf die Stirnbänder darauf, die er geraubt hatte.
Y ellos respondieron: De buena gana los daremos. Y tendiendo una ropa de vestir, echó allí cada uno los zarcillos de su despojo.
Ellos respondieron: «Con gusto te los daremos». Extendieron un manto, y cada uno echó allí un arete de su botín.
Ils dirent: Nous les donnerons volontiers. Et ils étendirent un manteau, sur lequel chacun jeta les anneaux de son butin.
Ed essi dissero: Noi del tutto te li daremo. Steso adunque un ammanto, ciascuno vi gittò il monile ch’egli aveva predato.
E disseram eles: De boa vontade os daremos. E estenderam uma capa, e cada um deles deitou ali um pendente do seu despojo.
以色列 人說:「我們情願送給你!」他們就鋪開一件外衣,各人將所奪的耳環丟在上面。
