Judges 8:25

WEB

They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every one of them threw an earring from his plunder.

KJV

And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

Commentary

And they answered, we will willingly give them,.... Or, "in giving we will give" (d); give them with all their hearts, most freely and cheerfully: and they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey; every man one, which would amount to no more than three hundred; though perhaps those who joined in the pursuit might take many more, or otherwise the weight of them would not amount to what in the next verse they are said to weigh. (d) "dando dabimus", Pagninus, Montanus.
