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 ) .

10 Y si tienes temor de descender, baja tĆŗ con Phara tu criado al campo,
11 Y oirÔs lo que hablan; y entonces tus manos se esforzarÔn, y descenderÔs al campo. Y él descendió con Phara su criado al principio de la gente de armas que estaba en el campo.
12 Y MadiƔn, y Amalec, y todos los orientales, estaban tendidos en el valle como langostas en muchedumbre, y sus camellos eran innumerables, como la arena que estƔ Ɣ la ribera de la mar en multitud.
13 Y luego que llegó Gedeón, he aquí que un hombre estaba contando Ô su compañero un sueño, diciendo: He aquí yo soñé un sueño: que veía un pan de cebada que rodaba hasta el campo de MadiÔn, y llegaba Ô las tiendas, y las hería de tal manera que caían, y las trastornaba de arriba abajo, y las tiendas caían.
14 Y su compañero respondió, y dijo: Esto no es otra cosa sino la espada de Gedeón hijo de Joas, varón de Israel: Dios ha entregado en sus manos Ô los Madianitas con todo el campo.
