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.
18
I shall blow the shofar, I and all that
are with me, then ye shall blow the shofarot on every side of all the camp, and say, I AM The Hewer! {YHWH-Gideon}
19
So Gideon and the hundred men that
were with him came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch
when only the guards
were awake, and they blew the shofarot and broke the pitchers that
were in their hands.
20
And the three companies blew the shofarot; and breaking the pitchers, they held the torches in their left hands and the shofarot in their right hands to blow
with; and they cried, The sword of I AM The Hewer! {YHWH-Gideon}
21
And they stood in their places round about the camp; and all the camp was routed, and they fled crying out.
22
But the three hundred blew the shofarot, and the LORD set each man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the camp; and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath
and to the border of Abelmeholah unto Tabbath.
