Gedeón hizo una vestidura sagrada con el oro y la puso en su ciudad natal de Ofra. Todos los israelitas venían allí a adorarla como un ídolo, lo cual se convirtió en una trampa que llevó a Gedeón y su familia al pecado.

📚 Contexto Histórico
After Gideon led the Israelites to victory against the Midianites, he used gold from the spoils to create an ephod, a sacred garment typically reserved for priestly use, and placed it in his hometown of Ophrah as a potential memorial or worship item. However, this action deviated from God's commands, as the ephod became an idol that the Israelites worshiped, leading them into spiritual unfaithfulness. This event highlights the ongoing struggle in Israel's history with idolatry, showing how even a leader like Gideon could inadvertently foster sin.
