all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there

This speaks of worshiping a false god as if it were prostitution. Alternate translation: "the Israelites sinned against Yahweh by worshiping the ephod there" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

all Israel

Here "all" is an exaggeration to emphasize that very many worshiped the garment. Alternate translation: "very many people in Israel worshiped the garment" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)

It became a trap for Gideon and for those in his house

This speaks of Gideon and his family being tempted to worship the ephod as if the ephod were a hunter's snare that would trap them. Alternate translation: "It became a temptation for Gideon and his family" or "Gideon and his family sinned by worshiping it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

for those in his house

Here "his house" represents Gideon's family. Alternate translation: "for his family" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
