Jueces 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 7:15

And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and
the interpretation thereof
Or, "the breaking of it" F7; the dream itself being like something closed up and sealed, and the interpretation of it was like the breaking of a seal, and discovering what is hid under it; or like a nut, the kernel of which cannot be come at till the shell is broken:

that he worshipped;
bowed his head with an awful reverence of God and a sense of his divine Majesty, and worshipped him by sending an ejaculatory prayer and praise to him; and so the Targum,

``and he praised''

praised God for this gracious encouragement he had given, the assurance of victory he now had; for he saw clearly the hand of God in all this, both in causing one of the soldiers to dream as he did, and giving the other the interpretation of it, and himself the hearing of both:

and returned into the host of Israel;
such an one as it was, consisting only of three hundred unarmed men: and said, arise; from their sleep and beds, it being the night season; and from their tents, and descend the hill with him:

for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian;
he made now no doubt of it, it was as sure to him as if it had been actually done; hence Gideon is renowned for his faith, though he sometimes was not without his fits of diffidence; see ( Hebrews 11:32 ) .

Jueces 7:15 In-Context

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.
15 Y cuando Gede贸n oy贸 el relato del sue帽o y su interpretaci贸n, se inclin贸 y ador贸. Volvi贸 al campamento de Israel, y dijo: Levantaos, porque el SE脩OR ha entregado en vuestras manos el campamento de Madi谩n.
16 Y dividi贸 los trescientos hombres en tres compa帽铆as, y puso trompetas y c谩ntaros vac铆os en las manos de todos ellos, con antorchas dentro de los c谩ntaros.
17 Y les dijo: Miradme, y haced lo mismo que yo. Y he aqu铆, cuando yo llegue a las afueras del campamento, como yo haga, as铆 har茅is vosotros.
