Judges 7:25

25 They captured the two Midianite generals, Oreb and Zeeb. ^{▼▼ The names Oreb and Zeeb, which mean “Raven” and “Wolf” respectively, are appropriate because the Midianites had been like scavengers and predators to Israel.} They executed Oreb on the rock of Oreb and Zeeb ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.} in the winepress of Zeeb. They chased the Midianites ^{▼▼Heb “Midian.”} and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was now on the other side of the Jordan River. ^{▼▼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).}
