Irmela Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Q2. (Judges 8:24-27) What does Gideon ask for his reward? Was Gideon wrong to take a reward? Where did the sin begin? Gideon asks for a gold ring from each of his men. He was not wrong in asking for a reward It was normal actually. The sin began, by what he did with the gold. So far he had still given honor to God for the victories. He did not want to be the king. God was the King. We read that the gold was used to make an ephod which was placed in the town and all prostrated themselves before it. That was the sin.
