Where Oreb appears in Scripture
וַֽיִּלְכְּדוּ שְׁנֵֽי-שָׂרֵי מִדְיָן אֶת-עֹרֵב וְאֶת-זְאֵב וַיַּֽהַרְגוּ אֶת-עוֹרֵב בְּצוּר-עוֹרֵב וְאֶת-זְאֵב הָֽרְגוּ בְיֶֽקֶב-זְאֵב וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶל-מִדְיָן וְרֹאשׁ-עֹרֵב וּזְאֵב הֵבִיאוּ אֶל-גִּדְעוֹן מֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
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.
בְּיֶדְכֶם נָתַן אֱלֹהִים אֶת-שָׂרֵי מִדְיָן אֶת-עֹרֵב וְאֶת-זְאֵב וּמַה-יָּכֹלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת כָּכֶם אָז רָֽפְתָה רוּחָם מֵֽעָלָיו בְּדַבְּרוֹ הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל-נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
וְעוֹרֵר עָלָיו יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שׁוֹט כְּמַכַּת מִדְיָן בְּצוּר עוֹרֵב וּמַטֵּהוּ עַל-הַיָּם וּנְשָׂאוֹ בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
