Judges 7:8-16

8And they tookH3947 the victuals of the peopleH5971 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782; and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 he sentH7971 awayH7971, every manH376 to his tentH168, but retained the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376. Now the campH4264 of MidianH4080 wasH1961 beneath him in the valleyH6010.

9And it came to pass in that nightH3915, that Jehovah saidH559 to him, AriseH6965, goH3381 down to the campH4264; for I have givenH5414 it into thy handH3027.

10And if thou fearH3373 to goH3381 down, goH3381 thou with Phurah thy servantH5288 downH3381 to the campH4264;

11and thou shalt hearH8085 what they sayH1696; and afterwards shall thy handH3027 be strengthenedH2388, and thou shalt goH3381 down unto the campH4264. And he wentH3381 downH3381 with Phurah his servantH5288 to the outside of the armed menH5288 that were in the campH4264.

12And MidianH4080 and AmalekH6002 and all the children of the eastH6924 lay along in the valleyH6010 as locustsH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557, as the sandH2344 upon the sea-shore for multitudeH7230.

13And GideonH1439 cameH935, and behold, a manH376 was telling a dreamH2472 to his fellow; and he saidH559, Behold, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and lo, a cake of barley-bread tumbled into the campH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to the tentH168, and smote it that it fellH5307, and overturnedH2015 it; and the tentH168 lay along.

14And his fellow answered and saidH559, This is nothingH369 else save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the manH376 of IsraelH3478: 1GodH430 hath givenH5414 into his handH3027 MidianH4080 and all the host.

15And it came to pass when GideonH1439 heardH8085 the telling of the dreamH2472 and its interpretation, that he worshipped. And he returnedH7725 into the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, AriseH6965; for Jehovah hath givenH5414 into your handH3027 the campH4264 of MidianH4080.

16And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and he putH5414 a trumpetH7782 in every man's handH3027, and emptyH7386 pitchers, and torchesH3940 within the pitchers.
