Judges 7:8-16

8SoH3947 the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victuals in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 everyH3605 manH376 unto his tentH168, but retainedH2388 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the campH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneathH8478 him in the valleyH6010.

9And it cameH1961 to passH1961 the sameH1931 nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965, getH6965 thee downH3381 intoH413 the campH4264; for I have deliveredH5414 it intoH413 thine handH3027.

10But ifH518 thou fearH3373 to goH3381 downH3381, goH3381 thou with PurahH6513 thy servantH5288 downH3381 to the campH4264:

11and thou shalt hearH8085 whatH4100 they sayH1696; and afterwardH310 shall thine handsH3027 be strengthenedH2388 to goH3381 downH3381 intoH413 the campH4264. Then wentH3381 he downH3381 with PurahH6513 his servantH5288 unto the outermost partH3027 of the armed menH5288 that were in the campH4264.

12And the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and allH3605 the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 layH5307 alongH5921 in the valleyH6010 like locustsH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were withoutH369 numberH4557, as the sandH2344 which is uponH5921 the seaH3220 shoreH8193 for multitudeH7230.

13And when GideonH1439 was comeH935, beholdH2009, there was a manH376 that toldH559 a dreamH2472 unto his fellowH376, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and, loH2009, a cake of barleyH8184 breadH3899 tumbled intoH935 the campH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 unto the tentH168, and smoteH5221 it that it fellH5307, and turnedH2015 it upsideH4605 downH5221, that the tentH168 layH5307 alongH5704.

14And his fellowH376 answeredH559 and saidH559, This is nothingH369 elseH3027 save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, a manH376 of IsraelH3478: intoH376 his handH3027 GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 MidianH4080, and allH3605 the hostH4264.

15And it was soH1961, when GideonH1439 heardH8085 the tellingH559 of the dreamH2472, and the interpretationH7667 thereof, that he worshipped; and he returnedH7725 intoH413 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, AriseH6965; for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 intoH413 your handH3027 the hostH4264 of MidianH4080.

16And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 intoH8432 threeH7969 companiesH7218, and he putH5414 intoH8432 the handsH3027 of allH3605 of them trumpetsH7782, and emptyH7386 pitchersH3537, with torchesH3940 withinH8432 the pitchersH3537.
