Judges 7:8-16

8So Gideon sent the other men of Israel home, but the 300 men who stayed kept all the supplies and rams’ horns. The camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

9That night the Lord said to Gideon, “Attack! Go into the camp! I will hand it over to you.

10But if you’re afraid to go, take your servant Purah to the camp with you.

11Listen to what people are saying. After that, you will have the courage to go into the camp and attack it.” So Gideon and his servant Purah went to the edge of the camp.

12Midian, Amalek, and all of Kedem were spread out in the valley like a swarm of locusts. There were so many camels that they could not be counted. They were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.

13When Gideon got there, he heard a man telling his friend a dream. The man said, “I had a strange dream. There was a loaf of barley bread rolling around in the camp of Midian. When it got to the command post, the loaf of bread hit that tent so hard that the tent collapsed, turned upside down, and fell flat.”

14His friend replied, “That can only be the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, from Israel. God is going to hand Midian and the whole camp over to him.”

15When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped the Lord. Then he went back to the camp of Israel and said, “Attack! The Lord will hand Midian’s camp over to you.”

16Gideon divided the 300 men into three companies. He gave them each rams’ horns and jars with torches inside.
