Judges 7:12-25

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>_.
