Judg 7:25 | MHM | STEP | v. 25 : The Ephraimites captured and killed two of Midian’s leaders, Oreb and Zeeb. Oreb’s name means “raven” and Zeeb’s means “wolf.” They tried to hide—one in a rocky place and the other near a winepress—but they were found and killed (Judges 7:25 ). The memory of their defeat was kept alive by naming the places after them, serving as a reminder of God’s judgment on Israel’s enemies (Isaiah 2:21; Revelation 6:15 ).
