Judges 8:3

8:3 It was to you that God handed over the Midianite generals, Oreb and Zeeb! What did I accomplish to rival that?” ¹  When he said this, they calmed down. ² 

Judges 7:25

7:25 They captured the two Midianite generals, Oreb and Zeeb. ³  They executed Oreb on the rock of Oreb and Zeeb ⁴  in the winepress of Zeeb. They chased the Midianites ⁵  and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was now on the other side of the Jordan River. ⁶

¹ tn Heb “What was I able to do compared to you?”

² tn Heb “Then their spirits relaxed from against him, when he spoke this word.”

³ sn The names Oreb and Zeeb, which mean “Raven” and “Wolf” respectively, are appropriate because the Midianites had been like scavengers and predators to Israel.

⁴ tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “Midian.”

⁶ tn Heb “beyond the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity (also in 8:4).
