7
Then the LORD said unto Gideon, With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the
other people go each one to his place.
8
And having taken provision for the people in his hands with their shofarot; he sent all
the other Israelites each one to his tent and retained those three hundred men, and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise and descend to the camp, for I have delivered it in thy hands.
10
But if thou art afraid to go down, go with Phurah thy servant down to the camp,
11
and thou shalt hear what they say; and then thy hands shall be strengthened, and thou shalt go down to the camp. Then he went down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that
were in the camp.
12
And Midian and Amalek and all the sons of the east lay along in the valley like locusts in multitude, and their camels
were not numbered as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
13
And when Gideon arrived, behold, a man was telling a dream to his fellow, saying, Behold, I dreamed a dream that I saw a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and come unto the tents, and it smote them so that they fell and overturned them, and the tents fell.
14
And his fellow answered and said, This
is nothing else but the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, a man of Israel,
for God has delivered the Midianites with all the camp into his hand.
15
And when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshipped; and when he had returned into the camp of Israel, he said, Arise, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hands.
16
And dividing the three hundred men
into three companies, he put a shofar in each man’s hand with empty pitchers and torches burning within the pitchers.
17
And he said unto them, Look at me and do as I do; and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, as I do, so shall ye do.
