Oreb, a Midianite prince slain by Ephraim at the rock that bears his name during Gideon's campaign
Oreb is the name of one of two Midianite princes (the other being Zeeb) captured and executed by the Ephraimites during the pursuit following Gideon's dramatic night victory over the Midianite camp. He was killed at a rock that subsequently bore his name, 'the rock of Oreb' (Judg 7:25). The event became a paradigm of God's decisive deliverance: Isaiah recalls it as 'the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb' (Isa 10:26), and the psalmist invokes it as a prayer for similar victory (Ps 83:11).
Senses
1. Oreb (proper noun) — The proper name Oreb (עֹרֵב, homophonous with 'raven'), identifying a Midianite prince captured and killed by the Ephraimites at a landmark rock during Gideon's campaign (Judg 7:25; 8:3). The place of his execution became known as 'the rock of Oreb,' and the victory became a type-scene of divine deliverance referenced by Isaiah (Isa 10:26) and in Psalm 83:11. Spanish and English consistently render it 'Oreb/Orev,' while French occasionally shows 'soir' (an erroneous association with the homonym for 'evening'), and German preserves 'Oreb.' 7×
