 This memorial was to be an ephod, an article of divine appointment. It formed part of the vestments which the sacrificing priest wore when representing the people before God. It was indeed a beautiful object, yet in Jehovah's eyes it was worthless, apart from the high priest who wore it. Alas! all Israel looked upon this ephod as a means of approach to God, and went and prostrated themselves before it. (Gideon: Gideon's Ephod: Judges 8:24-35 by H.L. Rossier)
 Ophrah became a gathering center, and the ephod became a center of Ophrah, to the displacement of the divine sanctuary at Shiloh, the true center of gathering for Israel. (Gideon: Gideon's Ephod: Judges 8:24-35 by H.L. Rossier)
