Judges7:25
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb: and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan .
For Gideon in the pursuit had passed over Iordan, as we read Iudg. 8. 4. which though mentioned after, this may seem to have been done before it, such transpositions being frequent in Sacred Story. Or, on this side Jordan, for the Hebrew word is indifferent to both sides, see Gen. 50. 10. And so this is opposed to what follows of his passing over Iordan, Iudg. 8. 4. And then there is no anticipation here.
