Commentary on Judges 7:24

Gideon sends messengers throughout Ephraim's hill country, calling them to seize the Jordan River fords and cut off Midianite retreat. The strategic instruction: 'Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.' Ephraim responds, seizing the water crossing points and capturing two Midianite princes, Oreb ('raven') and Zeeb ('wolf'). Their execution at the rock of Oreb and winepress of Zeeb created memorial sites. Ephraim then brings the princes' heads to Gideon 'on the other side Jordan,' confirming the pursuit crossed the river.
