Oreb and Zeeb

Oreb and Zeeb were two Midianite princes mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Oreb is a Hebrew Old Testament name, meaning raven while Zeeb means wolf. By the time of the Judges, Oreb and Zeeb were raiding Israel with the use of swift camels, until they were decisively defeated by Gideon (Judges 7:20-25). Many of the Midianites perished along with him (Psalm 83:12; Isaiah 10:26). Quotes about Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mountains of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.” Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan. And they captured two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued Midian and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan. Book of Judges 7:20-25 NKJV. Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession. Book of Psalms 83:11-12 NKJV. And the Lord of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt. Book of Isaiah 10:26 NKJV. External links Category:BCE births Category:BCE deaths Category:People from the Bible Category:Military leaders
