Judges 7:9-14
9Now on the sameH1931 nightH3915 it cameH1961 aboutH1961 that the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 against the campH4264, 1for I have handedH5414H3027 it overH5414 to you. 10But ifH518 you are afraidH3372 to goH3381 downH3381, goH3381 with PurahH6513 your servantH5288 downH3381 to the campH4264, 11so that you will hearH8085 whatH4100 they sayH1696; and 2afterwardH310 3you will haveH2388 the courageH3027H2388 to goH3381 downH3381 against the campH4264.” So he wentH3381 downH3381 with PurahH6513 his servantH5288 to the 4outpostsH7097 of the armyH2571 that was in the campH4264. 12Now the MidianitesH4080, the AmalekitesH6002, and allH3605 the 5peopleH1121 of the eastH6924 were lyingH5307 in the valleyH6010 6as numerousH7230 as locustsH697; and their camelsH1581 were withoutH369 numberH4557, 7as numerousH7230 as the sandH2344 on the seashoreH3220H8193. 13When GideonH1439 cameH935, beholdH2009, a manH376 was relatingH5608 a dreamH2472 to his friendH7453. And he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I 8hadH2492 a dreamH2472; 9a loafH6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 was tumblingH2015 into the campH4264 of MidianH4080, and it cameH935 to the tentH168 and struckH5221 it so that it fellH5307, and turnedH2015 it 10upsideH4605 downH4605 so that the tentH168 collapsedH5307.” 14And his friendH7453 repliedH6030, “ThisH2088 is nothingH369 otherH1115H518 thanH1115H518 the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060, a manH376 of IsraelH3478; GodH430 has 11handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to him MidianH4080 and allH3605 the campH4264.”
