Giudici 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 ) .

Giudici 7:12 In-Context

10 Ma se hai paura di farlo, scendivi con Purah tuo servo,
11 e udrai quello che dicono; e, dopo questo, le tue mani saranno fortificate per piombar sul campo". Egli dunque scese con Purah, suo servo, fino agli avamposti del campo.
12 Or i Madianiti, gli Amalekiti e tutti i figliuoli dell’oriente erano sparsi nella valle come una moltitudine di locuste, e i loro cammelli erano innumerevoli, come la rena ch’è sul lido del mare.
13 E come Gedeone vi giunse, ecco che un uomo raccontava un sogno al suo compagno, e gli diceva: "Io ho fatto un sogno; mi pareva che un pan tondo, d’orzo, rotolasse nel campo di Madian, giungesse alla tenda, la investisse, in modo da farla cadere, da rovesciarla, da lasciarla atterrata".
14 E il suo compagno gli rispose e gli disse: "Questo non è altro che la spada di Gedeone, figliuolo di Joas, uomo d’Israele; nelle sue mani Iddio ha dato Madian e tutto il campo".
