, § 104 ; Stade, Geschichte Israeliten, pp. 215-219. 1 1 2 The Chief Principles of viii. 26. The ephod there referred to as prepared by Gideon may have been one of unusual splendour. It was not made of golden thread alone, for amongst the booty taken from the princes of Midian there is mention of purple (Judg. Viii. 26). The use of the verb r^n (ver. 27) is even not significant, for in Judg. Vi. 37 it is used in the description we there find of the wool stretched out on the thrashing-floor. Bes...ides, according to the context, ^ the use of the ephod seems to have had in view the showing forth of the rule exercised by Jahveh over Israel. And the continual mediation, ^ as practised in theocratic Israel, was now the business of the priests iji possession of the Urim and Thummim. Accordingly, from this connection it follows that Gideon, even while in Ophrah, made that garment which was to show forth with renewed power to the high priests at Shiloh the sovereignty of Jahveh. We see, moreover, from a perusal of the l7th and 18th chapters of Judges that the writer regarded with special emphasis the ephod as a priestly garment.
