Judges 7

1

Then Jerubbaalh3378, who is Gideonh1439, and all the peopleh5971 that were with him, rose up earlyh7925h8686, and pitchedh2583h8799 beside the well of Harodh5878: so that the hosth4264 of the Midianitesh4080 were on the north sideh6828 of them, by the hillh1389 of Morehh4176, in the valleyh6010.

2

And the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Gideonh1439, The peopleh5971 that are with thee are too manyh7227 for me to giveh5414h8800 the Midianitesh4080 into their handsh3027, lest Israelh3478 vaunth6286h8691 themselves against me, sayingh559h8800, Mine own handh3027 hath savedh3467h8689 me.

3

Now therefore go toh4994, proclaimh7121h8798 in the earsh241 of the peopleh5971, sayingh559h8800, Whosoever is fearfulh3373 and afraidh2730, let him returnh7725h8799 and depart earlyh6852h8799 from mounth2022 Gileadh1568. And there returnedh7725h8799 of the peopleh5971 twentyh6242 and twoh8147 thousandh505; and there remainedh7604h8738 tenh6235 thousandh505.

4

And the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Gideonh1439, The peopleh5971 are yet too manyh7227; bring them downh3381h8685 unto the waterh4325, and I will tryh6884h8799 them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I sayh559h8799 unto thee, This shall goh3212h8799 with thee, the same shall goh3212h8799 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayh559h8799 unto thee, This shall not goh3212h8799 with thee, the same shall not goh3212h8799.

5

So he brought downh3381h8686 the peopleh5971 unto the waterh4325: and the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Gideonh1439, Every one that lappethh3952h8799 of the waterh4325 with his tongueh3956, as a dogh3611 lappethh3952h8799, him shalt thou seth3322h8686 by himself; likewise every one that boweth downh3766h8799 upon his kneesh1290 to drinkh8354h8800.

6

And the numberh4557 of them that lappedh3952h8764, putting their handh3027 to their mouthh6310, were threeh7969 hundredh3967 menh376: but all the resth3499 of the peopleh5971 bowed downh3766h8804 upon their kneesh1290 to drinkh8354h8800 waterh4325.

7

And the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Gideonh1439, By the threeh7969 hundredh3967 menh376 that lappedh3952h8764 will I saveh3467h8686 you, and deliverh5414h8804 the Midianitesh4080 into thine handh3027: and let all the other peopleh5971 goh3212h8799 every manh376 unto his placeh4725.

8

So the peopleh5971 tookh3947h8799 victualsh6720 in their handh3027, and their trumpetsh7782: and he senth7971h8765 allh376 the rest of Israelh3478 every manh376 unto his tenth168, and retainedh2388h8689 those threeh7969 hundredh3967 menh376: and the hosth4264 of Midianh4080 was beneath him in the valleyh6010.

9

And it came to pass the same nighth3915, that the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto him, Ariseh6965h8798, get thee downh3381h8798 unto the hosth4264; for I have deliveredh5414h8804 it into thine handh3027.

10

But if thou fearh3373 to go downh3381h8800, goh3381 thou with Phurahh6513 thy servanth5288 downh3381h8798 to the hosth4264:

11

And thou shalt hearh8085h8804 what they sayh1696h8762; and afterwardh310 shall thine handsh3027 be strengthenedh2388h8799 to go downh3381h8804 unto the hosth4264. Then went he downh3381h8799 with Phurahh6513 his servanth5288 unto the outsideh7097 of the armed menh2571 that were in the hosth4264. armed men: or, ranks by five

And the Midianitesh4080 and the Amalekitesh6002 and all the childrenh1121 of the easth6924 layh5307h8802 along in the valleyh6010 like grasshoppersh697 for multitudeh7230; and their camelsh1581 were without numberh4557, as the sandh2344 by the seah3220 sideh8193 for multitudeh7230.

13

And when Gideonh1439 was comeh935h8799, behold, there was a manh376 that toldh5608h8764 a dreamh2472 unto his fellowh7453, and saidh559h8799, Behold, I dreamedh2492h8804 a dreamh2472, and, lo, a cakeh6742h8675h6742 of barleyh8184 breadh3899 tumbledh2015h8693 into the hosth4264 of Midianh4080, and cameh935h8799 unto a tenth168, and smoteh5221h8686 it that it fellh5307h8799, and overturnedh2015h8799h4605 it, that the tenth168 lay alongh5307h8804.

14

And his fellowh7453 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, This is nothing else save the swordh2719 of Gideonh1439 the sonh1121 of Joashh3101, a manh376 of Israelh3478: for into his handh3027 hath Godh430 deliveredh5414h8804 Midianh4080, and all the hosth4264.

15

And it was so , when Gideonh1439 heardh8085h8800 the tellingh4557 of the dreamh2472, and the interpretationh7667 thereof, that he worshippedh7812h8691, and returnedh7725h8799 into the hosth4264 of Israelh3478, and saidh559h8799, Ariseh6965h8798; for the LORDh3068 hath deliveredh5414h8804 into your handh3027 the hosth4264 of Midianh4080. interpretation: Heb. breaking

18

When I blowh8628h8804 with a trumpeth7782, I and all that are with me, then blowh8628h8804 ye the trumpetsh7782 also on every sideh5439 of all the camph4264, and sayh559h8804, The sword of the LORDh3068, and of Gideonh1439.

21

And they stoodh5975h8799 every manh376 in his place round abouth5439 the camph4264: and all the hosth4264 ranh7323h8799, and criedh7321h8686, and fledh5127h8799h8675h5127h8686.

22
