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 Pero si tienes temor de descender, baja al campamento con tu criado Fura,
11 y oir谩s lo que dicen; entonces tus manos ser谩n fortalecidas para descender contra el campamento. Y descendi贸 con su criado Fura hasta los puestos avanzados del ej茅rcito que estaban en el campamento.
12 Y los madianitas, los amalecitas y todos los hijos del oriente estaban tendidos en el valle, numerosos como langostas; y sus camellos eran muchos, innumerables, como la arena que est谩 a la orilla del mar.
13 Cuando lleg贸 Gede贸n, he aqu铆 que un hombre estaba contando un sue帽o a su amigo, y dec铆a: He aqu铆, tuve un sue帽o; un pan de cebada iba rodando hasta el campamento de Madi谩n, y lleg贸 hasta la tienda y la golpe贸 de manera que cay贸, y la volc贸 de arriba abajo y la tienda qued贸 extendida.
14 Respondi贸 su amigo, y dijo: Esto no es otra cosa que la espada de Gede贸n, hijo de Jo谩s, var贸n de Israel; Dios ha entregado en su mano a Madi谩n y a todo el campamento.
