Judges 6:1--8:3

6:1

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Midian
<04080>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_.

6:2

And the hand
<03027>

of Midian
<04080>

prevailed
<05810> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_:

[and] because
<06440>

of the Midianites
<04080>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

made
<06213> (8804)

them the dens
<04492>

which [are] in the mountains
<02022>_,

and caves
<04631>_,

and strong holds
<04679>_.

{prevailed: Heb. was strong}

6:3

And [so] it was, when Israel
<03478>

had sown
<02232> (8804)_,

that the Midianites
<04080>

came up
<05927> (8804)_,

and the Amalekites
<06002>_,

and the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_,

even they came up
<05927> (8804)

against them;

6:4

And they encamped
<02583> (8799)

against them, and destroyed
<07843> (8686)

the increase
<02981>

of the earth
<0776>_,

till thou come
<0935> (8800)

unto Gaza
<05804>_,

and left
<07604> (8686)

no sustenance
<04241>

for Israel
<03478>_,

neither sheep
<07716>_,

nor ox
<07794>_,

nor ass
<02543>_.

{sheep: or goat}

6:5

For they came up
<05927> (8799)

with their cattle
<04735>

and their tents
<0168>_,

and they came
<0935> (8804) (8675) <0935> (8799)

as
<01767>

grasshoppers
<0697>

for multitude
<07230>_;

[for] both they and their camels
<01581>

were without number
<04557>_:

and they entered
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

it.

6:6

And Israel
<03478>

was greatly
<03966>

impoverished
<01809> (8735)

because
<06440>

of the Midianites
<04080>_;

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

6:7

And it came to pass, when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

cried
<02199> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>

because
<0182>

of the Midianites
<04080>_,

6:8

That the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8799)

a prophet
<0376> <05030>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I brought you up
<05927> (8689)

from Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought you forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the house
<01004>

of bondage
<05650>_;

{a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet}

6:9

And I delivered
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of all that oppressed
<03905> (8801)

you, and drave them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

you, and gave
<05414> (8799)

you their land
<0776>_;

6:10

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto you, I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

fear
<03372> (8799)

not the gods
<0430>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

in whose land
<0776>

ye dwell
<03427> (8802)_:

but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_.

6:11

And there came
<0935> (8799)

an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

under an oak
<0424>

which [was] in Ophrah
<06084>_,

that [pertained] unto Joash
<03101>

the Abiezrite
<033>_:

and his son
<01121>

Gideon
<01439>

threshed
<02251> (8802)

wheat
<02406>

by the winepress
<01660>_,

to hide
<05127> (8687)

[it] from
<06440>

the Midianites
<04080>_.

{Gideon: Gr. Gedeon} {to hide...: Heb. to cause it to flee}

6:12

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

[is] with thee, thou mighty
<01368>

man of valour
<02428>_.

6:13

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Oh
<0994>

my Lord
<0113>_,

if
<03426>

the LORD
<03068>

be with us, why then is all this befallen
<04672> (8804)

us? and where [be] all his miracles
<06381> (8737)

which our fathers
<01>

told
<05608> (8765)

us of, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Did not the LORD
<03068>

bring us up
<05927> (8689)

from Egypt
<04714>_?

but now the LORD
<03068>

hath forsaken
<05203> (8804)

us, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

us into the hands
<03709>

of the Midianites
<04080>_.

6:14

And the LORD
<03068>

looked
<06437> (8799)

upon him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

in this thy might
<03581>_,

and thou shalt save
<03467> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

from the hand
<03709>

of the Midianites
<04080>_:

have not I sent
<07971> (8804)

thee?

6:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Oh
<0994>

my Lord
<0136>_,

wherewith
<04100>

shall I save
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>_?

behold, my family
<0504> (8676) <0505>

[is] poor
<01800>

in Manasseh
<04519>_,

and I [am] the least
<06810>

in my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

{my family...: Heb. my thousand is the meanest}

6:16

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)

the Midianites
<04080>

as one
<0259>

man
<0376>_.

6:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, If now I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

then shew
<06213> (8804)

me a sign
<0226>

that thou talkest
<01696> (8764)

with me.

6:18

Depart
<04185> (8799)

not hence, I pray thee, until I come
<0935> (8800)

unto thee, and bring forth
<03318> (8689)

my present
<04503>_,

and set
<03240> (8689)

[it] before
<06440>

thee. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will tarry
<03427> (8799)

until thou come again
<07725> (8800)_.

{present: or, meat offering}

6:19

And Gideon
<01439>

went in
<0935> (8804)_,

and made ready
<06213> (8799)

a kid
<05795> <01423>_,

and unleavened cakes
<04682>

of an ephah
<0374>

of flour
<07058>_:

the flesh
<01320>

he put
<07760> (8804)

in a basket
<05536>_,

and he put
<07760> (8804)

the broth
<04839>

in a pot
<06517>_,

and brought [it] out
<03318> (8686)

unto him under the oak
<0424>_,

and presented
<05066> (8686)

[it]. {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}

6:20

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_,

and lay
<03240> (8685)

[them] upon this
<01975>

rock
<05553>_,

and pour out
<08210> (8798)

the broth
<04839>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

so.

6:21

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

the end
<07097>

of the staff
<04938>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_;

and there rose up
<05927> (8799)

fire
<0784>

out of the rock
<06697>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_.

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

departed
<01980> (8804)

out of his sight
<05869>_.

6:22

And when Gideon
<01439>

perceived
<07200> (8799)

that he [was] an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

for because
<03651>

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_.

6:23

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Peace
<07965>

[be] unto thee; fear
<03372> (8799)

not: thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

6:24

Then Gideon
<01439>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

there unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

it Jehovahshalom
<03073>_:

unto this day
<03117>

it [is] yet in Ophrah
<06084>

of the Abiezrites
<033>_.

{Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}

6:25

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

thy father's
<01>

young
<06499>

bullock
<07794>_,

even the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>

of seven
<07651>

years old
<08141>_,

and throw down
<02040> (8804)

the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>

that thy father
<01>

hath, and cut down
<03772> (8799)

the grove
<0842>

that [is] by it: {even: or, and}

6:26

And build
<01129> (8804)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

upon the top
<07218>

of this rock
<04581>_,

in the ordered place
<04634>_,

and take
<03947> (8804)

the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>_,

and offer
<05927> (8689)

a burnt sacrifice
<05930>

with the wood
<06086>

of the grove
<0842>

which thou shalt cut down
<03772> (8799)_.

{rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered...: or, in an orderly manner}

6:27

Then Gideon
<01439>

took
<03947> (8799)

ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

of his servants
<05650>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)

unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared
<03372> (8804)

his father's
<01>

household
<01004>_,

and the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_,

that he could not do
<06213> (8800)

[it] by day
<03119>_,

that he did
<06213> (8799)

[it] by night
<03915>_.

6:28

And when the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>

was cast down
<05422> (8795)_,

and the grove
<0842>

was cut down
<03772> (8795)

that [was] by it, and the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>

was offered
<05927> (8717)

upon the altar
<04196>

[that was] built
<01129> (8803)_.

6:29

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

Who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_?

And when they enquired
<01875> (8799)

and asked
<01245> (8762)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

6:30

Then the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joash
<03101>_,

Bring out
<03318> (8685)

thy son
<01121>_,

that he may die
<04191> (8799)_:

because he hath cast down
<05422> (8804)

the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and because he hath cut down
<03772> (8804)

the grove
<0842>

that [was] by it.

6:31

And Joash
<03101>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all that stood
<05975> (8804)

against him, Will ye plead
<07378> (8799)

for Baal
<01168>_?

will ye save
<03467> (8686)

him? he that will plead
<07378> (8799)

for him, let him be put to death
<04191> (8714)

whilst [it is yet] morning
<01242>_:

if he [be] a god
<0430>_,

let him plead
<07378> (8799)

for himself, because [one] hath cast down
<05422> (8804)

his altar
<04196>_.

6:32

Therefore on that day
<03117>

he called
<07121> (8799)

him Jerubbaal
<03378>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let Baal
<01168>

plead
<07378> (8799)

against him, because he hath thrown down
<05422> (8804)

his altar
<04196>_.

{Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}

6:33

Then all the Midianites
<04080>

and the Amalekites
<06002>

and the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>

were gathered
<0622> (8738)

together
<03162>_,

and went over
<05674> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the valley
<06010>

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

6:34

But the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<03847> (8804)

upon Gideon
<01439>_,

and he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_;

and Abiezer
<044>

was gathered
<02199> (8735)

after
<0310>

him. {came...: Heb. clothed} {gathered: Heb. called}

6:35

And he sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

throughout all Manasseh
<04519>_;

who also was gathered
<02199> (8735)

after
<0310>

him: and he sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

unto Asher
<0836>_,

and unto Zebulun
<02074>_,

and unto Naphtali
<05321>_;

and they came up
<05927> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them. {gathered: Heb. called}

6:36

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

If thou wilt
<03426>

save
<03467> (8688)

Israel
<03478>

by mine hand
<03027>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

6:37

Behold, I will put
<03322> (8688)

a fleece
<01492>

of wool
<06785>

in the floor
<01637>_;

[and] if the dew
<02919>

be on the fleece
<01492>

only, and [it be] dry
<02721>

upon all the earth
<0776>

[beside], then shall I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

by mine hand
<03027>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.

6:38

And it was so: for he rose up early
<07925> (8686)

on the morrow
<04283>_,

and thrust
<02115> (0)

the fleece
<01492>

together
<02115> (8799)_,

and wringed
<04680> (8799)

the dew
<02919>

out of the fleece
<01492>_,

a bowl
<05602>

full
<04393>

of water
<04325>_.

6:39

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

Let not thine anger
<0639>

be hot
<02734> (8799)

against me, and I will speak
<01696> (8762)

but this once
<06471>_:

let me prove
<05254> (8762)_,

I pray thee, but this once
<06471>

with the fleece
<01492>_;

let it now be dry
<02721>

only upon the fleece
<01492>_,

and upon all the ground
<0776>

let there be dew
<02919>_.

6:40

And God
<0430>

did
<06213> (8799)

so that night
<03915>_:

for it was dry
<02721>

upon the fleece
<01492>

only, and there was dew
<02919>

on all the ground
<0776>_.

7:1

Then Jerubbaal
<03378>_,

who [is] Gideon
<01439>_,

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, rose up early
<07925> (8686)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

beside the well of Harod
<05878>_:

so that the host
<04264>

of the Midianites
<04080>

were on the north side
<06828>

of them, by the hill
<01389>

of Moreh
<04176>_,

in the valley
<06010>_.

7:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

The people
<05971>

that [are] with thee [are] too many
<07227>

for me to give
<05414> (8800)

the Midianites
<04080>

into their hands
<03027>_,

lest Israel
<03478>

vaunt
<06286> (8691)

themselves against me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Mine own hand
<03027>

hath saved
<03467> (8689)

me.

7:3

Now therefore go to
<04994>_,

proclaim
<07121> (8798)

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whosoever [is] fearful
<03373>

and afraid
<02730>_,

let him return
<07725> (8799)

and depart early
<06852> (8799)

from mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

And there returned
<07725> (8799)

of the people
<05971>

twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>_;

and there remained
<07604> (8738)

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>_.

7:4

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

The people
<05971>

[are] yet [too] many
<07227>_;

bring them down
<03381> (8685)

unto the water
<04325>_,

and I will try
<06884> (8799)

them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, This shall go
<03212> (8799)

with thee, the same shall go
<03212> (8799)

with thee; and of whomsoever I say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, This shall not go
<03212> (8799)

with thee, the same shall not go
<03212> (8799)_.

7:5

So he brought down
<03381> (8686)

the people
<05971>

unto the water
<04325>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

Every one that lappeth
<03952> (8799)

of the water
<04325>

with his tongue
<03956>_,

as a dog
<03611>

lappeth
<03952> (8799)_,

him shalt thou set
<03322> (8686)

by himself; likewise every one that boweth down
<03766> (8799)

upon his knees
<01290>

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

7:6

And the number
<04557>

of them that lapped
<03952> (8764)_,

[putting] their hand
<03027>

to their mouth
<06310>_,

were three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

but all the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

bowed down
<03766> (8804)

upon their knees
<01290>

to drink
<08354> (8800)

water
<04325>_.

7:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

By the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that lapped
<03952> (8764)

will I save
<03467> (8686)

you, and deliver
<05414> (8804)

the Midianites
<04080>

into thine hand
<03027>_:

and let all the [other] people
<05971>

go
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his place
<04725>_.

7:8

So the people
<05971>

took
<03947> (8799)

victuals
<06720>

in their hand
<03027>_,

and their trumpets
<07782>_:

and he sent
<07971> (8765)

all
<0376>

[the rest of] Israel
<03478>

every man
<0376>

unto his tent
<0168>_,

and retained
<02388> (8689)

those three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

and the host
<04264>

of Midian
<04080>

was beneath him in the valley
<06010>_.

7:9

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee down
<03381> (8798)

unto the host
<04264>_;

for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

it into thine hand
<03027>_.

7:10

But if thou fear
<03373>

to go down
<03381> (8800)_,

go
<03381> (0)

thou with Phurah
<06513>

thy servant
<05288>

down
<03381> (8798)

to the host
<04264>_:

7:11

And thou shalt hear
<08085> (8804)

what they say
<01696> (8762)_;

and afterward
<0310>

shall thine hands
<03027>

be strengthened
<02388> (8799)

to go down
<03381> (8804)

unto the host
<04264>_.

Then went he down
<03381> (8799)

with Phurah
<06513>

his servant
<05288>

unto the outside
<07097>

of the armed men
<02571>

that [were] in the host
<04264>_.

{armed men: or, ranks by five}

7:12

And the Midianites
<04080>

and the Amalekites
<06002>

and all the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>

lay
<05307> (8802)

along in the valley
<06010>

like grasshoppers
<0697>

for multitude
<07230>_;

and their camels
<01581>

[were] without number
<04557>_,

as the sand
<02344>

by the sea
<03220>

side
<08193>

for multitude
<07230>_.

7:13

And when Gideon
<01439>

was come
<0935> (8799)_,

behold, [there was] a man
<0376>

that told
<05608> (8764)

a dream
<02472>

unto his fellow
<07453>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I dreamed
<02492> (8804)

a dream
<02472>_,

and, lo, a cake
<06742> (8675) <06742>

of barley
<08184>

bread
<03899>

tumbled
<02015> (8693)

into the host
<04264>

of Midian
<04080>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto a tent
<0168>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

it that it fell
<05307> (8799)_,

and overturned
<02015> (8799) <04605>

it, that the tent
<0168>

lay along
<05307> (8804)_.

7:14

And his fellow
<07453>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] nothing else save the sword
<02719>

of Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>_,

a man
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_:

[for] into his hand
<03027>

hath God
<0430>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

Midian
<04080>_,

and all the host
<04264>_.

7:15

And it was [so], when Gideon
<01439>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the telling
<04557>

of the dream
<02472>_,

and the interpretation
<07667>

thereof, that he worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

into the host
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_;

for the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into your hand
<03027>

the host
<04264>

of Midian
<04080>_.

{interpretation: Heb. breaking}

7:16

And he divided
<02673> (8799)

the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

[into] three
<07969>

companies
<07218>_,

and he put
<05414> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>

in every man's hand
<03027>_,

with empty
<07386>

pitchers
<03537>_,

and lamps
<03940>

within
<08432>

the pitchers
<03537>_.

{a trumpet...: Heb. trumpets in the hand of all of them} {lamps: or, firebrands, or, torches}

7:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Look
<07200> (8799)

on me, and do
<06213> (8799)

likewise: and, behold, when I come
<0935> (8802)

to the outside
<07097>

of the camp
<04264>_,

it shall be [that], as I do
<06213> (8799)_,

so shall ye do
<06213> (8799)_.

7:18

When I blow
<08628> (8804)

with a trumpet
<07782>_,

I and all that [are] with me, then blow
<08628> (8804)

ye the trumpets
<07782>

also on every side
<05439>

of all the camp
<04264>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

[The sword] of the LORD
<03068>_,

and of Gideon
<01439>_.

7:19

So Gideon
<01439>_,

and the hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him, came
<0935> (8799)

unto the outside
<07097>

of the camp
<04264>

in the beginning
<07218>

of the middle
<08484>

watch
<0821>_;

and they had but
<0389>

newly
<06965> (8687)

set
<06965> (8689)

the watch
<08104> (8802)_:

and they blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpets
<07782>_,

and brake
<05310> (8800)

the pitchers
<03537>

that [were] in their hands
<03027>_.

7:20

And the three
<07969>

companies
<07218>

blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpets
<07782>_,

and brake
<07665> (8799)

the pitchers
<03537>_,

and held
<02388> (8686)

the lamps
<03940>

in their left
<08040>

hands
<03027>_,

and the trumpets
<07782>

in their right
<03225>

hands
<03027>

to blow
<08628> (8800)

[withal]: and they cried
<07121> (8799)_,

The sword
<02719>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and of Gideon
<01439>_.

7:21

And they stood
<05975> (8799)

every man
<0376>

in his place round about
<05439>

the camp
<04264>_:

and all the host
<04264>

ran
<07323> (8799)_,

and cried
<07321> (8686)_,

and fled
<05127> (8799) (8675) <05127> (8686)_.

7:22

And the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpets
<07782>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

set
<07760> (8799)

every man's
<0376>

sword
<02719>

against his fellow
<07453>_,

even throughout all the host
<04264>_:

and the host
<04264>

fled
<05127> (8799)

to Bethshittah
<01029>

in Zererath
<06888>_,

[and] to the border
<08193>

of Abelmeholah
<065>_,

unto Tabbath
<02888>_.

{in: or, toward} {border: Heb. lip}

7:23

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)

out of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and out of Asher
<0836>_,

and out of all Manasseh
<04519>_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

the Midianites
<04080>_.

7:24

And Gideon
<01439>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

throughout all mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come down
<03381> (8798)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Midianites
<04080>_,

and take
<03920> (8798)

before them the waters
<04325>

unto Bethbarah
<01012>

and Jordan
<03383>_.

Then all the men
<0376>

of Ephraim
<0669>

gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

the waters
<04325>

unto Bethbarah
<01012>

and Jordan
<03383>_.

7:25

And they took
<03920> (8799)

two
<08147>

princes
<08269>

of the Midianites
<04080>_,

Oreb
<06159>

and Zeeb
<02062>_;

and they slew
<02026> (8799)

Oreb
<06159>

upon the rock
<06697>

Oreb
<06159>_,

and Zeeb
<02062>

they slew
<02026> (8804)

at the winepress
<03342>

of Zeeb
<02062>_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

Midian
<04080>_,

and brought
<0935> (8689)

the heads
<07218>

of Oreb
<06159>

and Zeeb
<02062>

to Gideon
<01439>

on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_.

8:1

And the men
<0376>

of Ephraim
<0669>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou
<04100>

served
<06213> (8804)

us thus
<01697>_,

that thou calledst
<07121> (8800)

us not, when thou wentest
<01980> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with the Midianites
<04080>_?

And they did chide
<07378> (8799)

with him sharply
<02394>_.

{Why...: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}

8:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What have I done
<06213> (8804)

now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning
<05955>

of the grapes of Ephraim
<0669>

better
<02896>

than the vintage
<01210>

of Abiezer
<044>_?

8:3

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into your hands
<03027>

the princes
<08269>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Oreb
<06159>

and Zeeb
<02062>_:

and what was I able
<03201> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

in comparison of you? Then their anger
<07307>

was abated
<07503> (8804)

toward him, when he had said
<01697>

that
<01696> (8763)_.

{anger: Heb. spirit}
