Judges 7:10-15

10But ifH518 youH859 are afraidH3373 toH3381 do so, then go downH3381 toH413 the campH4264H859 with your servantH5288 PurahH6513 11and listenH8085 to whatH4100 they are sayingH1696. ThenH310 your handsH3027 will be strengthenedH2388 to attackH3381 the campH4264.” So heH1931 wentH3381 with PurahH6513 his servantH5288 toH413 the outpostsH7097 where armed menH2571 wereH834 guarding the campH4264.

12Now the MidianitesH4080, AmalekitesH6002, and allH3605 the other peopleH1121 of the eastH6924 had settledH5307 in the valleyH6010 like a swarm ofH7230 locustsH697, and their camelsH1581 were as countlessH369H4557 as the sandH2344 onH5921 the seashoreH8193H3220H7230. 13And as GideonH1439 arrivedH935, a manH376 was tellingH5608 his friendH7453 about a dreamH2472. “BeholdH2009, I had a dreamH2472H2492,” he saidH559, “and I sawH2009 a loafH6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 comeH935H5704 tumblingH2015 into the MidianiteH4080 campH4264. It struckH5221 the tentH168 so hard thatH5307 the tentH168 overturnedH2015H4605 and collapsedH5307.”

14His friendH7453H559 repliedH6030: “ThisH2063 is nothingH369 less thanH1115H518 the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the IsraeliteH376H3478. GodH430 has deliveredH5414 MidianH4080 andH853 the wholeH3605 campH4264 into his handH3027.”

15

When GideonH1439 heardH8085 the dreamH4557H2472 and its interpretationH7667, he bowed in worshipH7812. He returnedH7725 toH413 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559, “Get upH6965, forH3588 the LORDH3068 has deliveredH5414 the campH4264 of MidianH4080 into your handH3027.”
