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.
Los aretes de oro que pidió Gedeón pesaron unos 43 libras de oro. Esto ni siquiera incluía todas las otras cosas valiosas como adornos, collares, ropa púrpura que pertenecía a los reyes madianitas, y las cadenas que colgaban del cuello de sus camellos.
Gedeón recibió una enorme cantidad de oro y tesoros valiosos del botín de guerra de los madianitas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
After Gideon's miraculous victory over the vast Midianite army with only 300 men, he asked each Israelite soldier to give him one gold earring from their plunder. The Midianites and other eastern peoples were known for wearing elaborate gold jewelry and decorating even their camels with valuable ornaments. This massive amount of gold demonstrates just how wealthy and powerful the enemy had been before God delivered them into Israel's hands.
