1: And rose early,H7925 Jerubbaal,H3378 he [is]H1931 Gideon,H1439 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 and encampedH2583 besideH5921 the well of HarodH5878 so that the campH4264 of the MidianitesH4080 wasH1961 on the north sideH6828 by the hillH1389 of Moreh,H4176 in the valley.H6010

2: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Gideon,H1439 [are] too manyH7227 the peopleH5971 who [are]H0834 with youH0854 for Me to giveH5414 -H0853 the MidianitesH4080 into their hands,H3027 lestH6435 claim glory for itselfH6286 against MeH5921 IsraelH3478 saying,H0559 My own handH3027 has savedH3467

3: Therefore nowH6258 proclaimH7121 now,H4994 in the hearingH0241 of the people,H5971 saying,H0559 who [is]H4310 fearfulH3373 and afraid,H2730 let him turnH7725 and depart at onceH6852 from MountH2022 Gilead.H1568 And returnedH7725 ofH4480 the peopleH5971 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousand-H0505 and tenH6235 thousandH0505 remained.H7604

4: But saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Gideon,H1439 stillH5750 the people [are]H5971 [too] many-H7227 bring them downH3381 -H0853 toH0413 the water,H4325 and I will test themH6884 there.H8033 And it will be,H1961 [that] of whomH0834 I sayH0559 to youH0413 this [one]H2088 shall goH1980 with youH0854 heH1931 shall goH1980 with youH0854 andH3605 of whomeverH0834 I sayH0559 to youH0413 this [one]H2088 notH3808 shall goH1980 with youH5973 heH1931 notH3808 shall go.H1980

5: So he brought downH3381 -H0853 the peopleH5971 toH0413 the water.H4325 And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Gideon,H1439 EveryoneH3605 whoH0834 lapsH3952 with his tongue,H3956 fromH4480 the waterH4325 asH0834 laps,H3952 a dogH3611 you shall set apartH3322 -H0853 by himself-H0905 and likewise everyoneH3605 whoH0834 gets downH3766 onH5921 his kneesH1290 to drink.H8354

6: And wasH1961 the numberH4557 of those who lapped,H3952 [putting] their handH3027 toH0413 their mouth,H6310 threeH7969 hundredH3967 men-H0376 but allH3605 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 got downH3766 onH5921 their kneesH1290 to drinkH8354 water.H4325

7: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Gideon,H1439 by the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH0376 who lappedH3952 I will saveH3467 youH0853 and deliverH5414 -H0853 the MidianitesH4080 into your hand-H3027 and allH3605 the [other] peopleH5971 let goH1980 every manH0376 to his place.H4725

8: So tookH3947 -H0853 provisionsH6720 the peopleH5971 in their hands,H3027 andH0853 their trumpets-H7782 andH0853 allH3605 [the [rest of]H0376 IsraelH3478 he sent awayH7971 every man-H0376 to his tent,H0168 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 those menH0376 retainedH2388 and the campH4264 of MidianH4080 wasH1961 belowH8478 in the valley.H6010

9: And it happenedH1961 on night,H3915 thatH1931 saidH0559 to himH0413 YahwehH3068 Arise,H6965 go downH3381 against the camp-H4264 forH3588 I have delivered itH5414 into your hand.H3027

10: But ifH0518 are afraidH3373 youH0859 to go down,H3381 go downH3381 youH0859 and PurahH6513 your servantH5288 toH0413 the camp,H4264

11: and you shall hearH8085 whatH4100 they say-H1696 and afterwardH0310 shall be strengthenedH2388 your handsH3027 and to go downH3381 against the camp.H4264 And went downH3381 heH1931 and with PurahH6513 his servantH5288 toH0413 the outpostH7097 of the armed menH2571 who [were]H0834 in the camp.H4264

12: Now the MidianitesH4080 and AmalekitesH6002 and allH3605 the sonsH1121 of the EastH6924 were lyingH5307 in the valleyH6010 as numerous as locustsH0697 as numerous-H7230 and their camels [were]H1581 withoutH0369 number,H4557 as the sandH2344 byH5921 sideH8193 the seashoreH3220 in multitude.H7230

13: And when had come,H0935 GideonH1439 and there was,H2009 a manH0376 tellingH5608 to his companion,H7453 a dreamH2472 and He said,H0559 behold,H2009 a dream,H2472 I have hadH2492 and [To my] surprise,H2009 a loaf ofH6742 breadH3899 barleyH8184 tumbledH2015 into the campH4264 of Midian,H4080 and it cameH0935 toH5704 a tent,H0168 and struck itH5221 so that it fell,H5307 and overturnedH2015 upsideH4605 and collapsedH5307 the tent.H0168

14: And answeredH6030 his companionH7453 and said,H0559 nothingH0369 this [is]H2063 saveH1115 butH0518 the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 sonH1121 of Joash,H3101 a manH0376 of Israel-H3478 has deliveredH5414 GodH0430 Into his handH3027 -H0853 Midian,H4080 andH0853 wholeH3605 the camp.H4264

15: And so it wasH1961 when heardH8085 GideonH1439 -H0853 the tellingH4557 of the dream,H2472 andH0853 its interpretationH7667 that he worshiped,H7812 and He returnedH7725 toH0413 the campH4264 of Israel,H3478 and said,H0559 Arise-H6965 forH3588 has deliveredH5414 YahwehH3068 into your handH3027 -H0853 the campH4264 of Midian.H4080

16: And he divided [into]H2673 -H0853 threeH7969 hundredH3967 the menH0376 threeH7969 companies,H7218 and he putH5414 a trumpetH7782 into hand,H3027 of every manH3605 and with pitchers,H3537 emptyH7386 and torchesH3940 insideH8432 the pitchers.H3537

17: And he saidH0559 to themH0413 at meH4480 LookH7200 and likewise.H3651 DoH6213 and when watch,H2009 IH0595 comeH0935 to the edgeH7097 of the camp,H4264 andH1961 asH0834 I do,H6213 soH3651 you shall do.H6213

18: And when I blowH8628 the trumpet,H7782 IH0595 and allH3605 who [are]H0834 with meH0854 then blowH8628 the trumpetsH7782 alsoH1571 youH0859 on every sideH5439 of wholeH3605 the camp,H4264 and say,H0559 [The sword of] Yahweh,H3068 and of Gideon.H1439

19: So cameH0935 Gideon,H1439 and hundredH3967 the menH0376 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 to the outpostH7097 of the campH4264 at the beginningH7218 of the watch-H0821 middleH8484 just asH0389 newlyH6965 they had postedH6965 -H0853 the watch-H8104 and they blewH8628 the trumpets,H7782 and brokeH5310 the pitchersH3537 that [were]H0834 in their hands.H3027

20: And blewH8628 threeH7969 the companiesH7218 the trumpets,H7782 and brokeH7665 the pitchers,H3537 and they heldH2388 in hands,H3027 their leftH8040 the torchesH3940 and in handsH3027 their rightH3225 the trumpetsH7782 for blowingH8628 and they cried,H7121 the swordH2719 of Yahweh,H3068 and of Gideon.H1439

21: And stoodH5975 every manH0376 in his placeH8478 all aroundH5439 the camp-H4264 and ran,H7323 wholeH3605 the armyH4264 and cried out,H7321 and fled.H5127

22: And when blewH8628 threeH7969 the hundredH3967 the trumpets,H7782 and setH7760 YahwehH3068 -H0853 swordH2719 of every manH0376 against his companion,H7453 and throughout wholeH3605 the camp-H4264 and fledH5127 the armyH4264 toH5704 Beth AcaciaH1029 toward Zererah,H6888 as far asH5704 the borderH8193 Abel Meholah,H0065 byH5921 Tabbath.H2888

23: And gathered togetherH6817 the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 from NaphtaliH5321 andH4480 Asher,H0836 andH4480 allH3605 Manasseh,H4519 and pursuedH7291 afterH0310 the Midianites.H4080

24: And messengersH4397 sentH7971 GideonH1439 throughout allH3605 the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim,H0669 saying,H0559 come downH3381 againstH7125 the Midianites,H4080 and seizeH3920 -H0853 the watering placesH4325 as far asH5704 Beth BarahH1012 andH0853 the Jordan.H3383 And gathered together,H6817 allH3605 the menH0376 of EphraimH0669 and seizedH3920 -H0853 the watering placesH4325 as far asH5704 Beth BarahH1012 andH0853 the Jordan.H3383
