Judges 3:19

"When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute."

Key Reflection

After completing his offering, Ehud dismissed those who bore the tribute, symbolizing a transition from the formal act of worship to private or hidden action. This dismissal foreshadows Ehud's secret mission to assassinate Eglon, highlighting the contrast between public ceremony and clandestine faithfulness.
