Jueces 7:12 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 7:12

And the Midianites and the Amalekites, and the children of the
east
The Arabians, who with the Amalekites joined the Midianites in this expedition:

lay along in the valley
in the valley of Jezreel, in their tents, which overspread the valley, or at least great part of it:

like grasshoppers for multitude;
or locusts, which usually come in great numbers, and cover the air and the sun where they fly, and the earth where they light, as they did the land of Egypt; this army consisted at least of 135,000 men, as is clear from ( Judges 8:10 )

and their camels were without number; as the sand is by the sea side
for multitude;
an hyperbolical expression, setting forth the great number of them which the countries of Midian and Arabia abounded with; and were very proper to bring with them, to load and carry off the booty they came for, the fruits of the earth; see ( Judges 6:4 Judges 6:5 ) .

Jueces 7:12 In-Context

10 Si temes atacar, baja primero al campamento, con tu criado Furá,
11 y escucha lo que digan. Después de eso cobrarás valor para atacar el campamento».Así que él y Furá, su criado, bajaron hasta los puestos de los centinelas, en las afueras del campamento.
12 Los madianitas, los amalecitas y todos los otros pueblos del oriente que se habían establecido en el valle eran numerosos como langostas. Sus camellos eran incontables, como la arena a la orilla del mar.
13 Gedeón llegó precisamente en el momento en que un hombre le contaba su sueño a un amigo.—Tuve un sueño —decía—, en el que un pan de cebada llegaba rodando al campamento madianita, y con tal fuerza golpeaba una carpa que esta se volteaba y se venía abajo.
14 Su amigo le respondió:—Esto no significa otra cosa que la espada del israelita Gedeón hijo de Joás. ¡Dios ha entregado en sus manos a los madianitas y a todo el campamento!
