Then Jerubbaal,{H3378} who is Gideon,{H1439} and all the people{H5971} that were with him, rose up early,{H7925} and encamped{H2583} beside the spring of Harod:{H5878} and the camp{H4264} of Midian{H4080} was on the north side{H6828} of them, by the hill{H1389} of Moreh,{H4176} in the valley.{H6010}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Gideon,{H1439} The people{H5971} that are with thee are too many{H7227} for me to give{H5414} the Midianites{H4080} into their hand,{H3027} lest Israel{H3478} vaunt{H6286} themselves against me, saying,{H559} Mine own hand{H3027} hath saved{H3467} me.

Now therefore{H4994} proclaim{H7121} in the ears{H241} of the people,{H5971} saying,{H559} Whosoever is fearful{H3373} and trembling,{H2730} let him return{H7725} and depart{H6852} from mount{H2022} Gilead.{H1568} And there returned{H7725} of the people{H5971} twenty{H6242} and two{H8147} thousand;{H505} and there remained{H7604} ten{H6235} thousand.{H505}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Gideon,{H1439} The people{H5971} are yet too many;{H7227} bring them down{H3381} unto the water,{H4325} and I will try{H6884} them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say{H559} unto thee, This shall go{H3212} with thee, the same shall go{H3212} with thee; and of whomsoever I say{H559} unto thee, This shall not go{H3212} with thee, the same shall not go.{H3212}

So he brought down{H3381} the people{H5971} unto the water:{H4325} and Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Gideon,{H1439} Every one that lappeth{H3952} of the water{H4325} with his tongue,{H3956} as a dog{H3611} lappeth,{H3952} him shalt thou set{H3322} by himself; likewise every one that boweth down{H3766} upon his knees{H1290} to drink.{H8354}

And the number{H4557} of them that lapped,{H3952} putting their hand{H3027} to their mouth,{H6310} was three{H7969} hundred{H3967} men:{H376} but all the rest{H3499} of the people{H5971} bowed down{H3766} upon their knees{H1290} to drink{H8354} water.{H4325}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Gideon,{H1439} By the three{H7969} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that lapped{H3952} will I save{H3467} you, and deliver{H5414} the Midianites{H4080} into thy hand;{H3027} and let all the people{H5971} go{H3212} every man{H376} unto his place.{H4725}

So the people{H5971} took{H3947} victuals{H6720} in their hand,{H3027} and their trumpets;{H7782} and he sent{H7971} all{H376} the men of Israel{H3478} every man{H376} unto his tent,{H168} but retained{H2388} the three{H7969} hundred{H3967} men:{H376} and the camp{H4264} of Midian{H4080} was beneath him in the valley.{H6010}

And it came to pass the same night,{H3915} that Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto him, Arise,{H6965} get thee down{H3381} into the camp;{H4264} for I have delivered{H5414} it into thy hand.{H3027}

But if thou fear{H3373} to go down,{H3381} go{H3381} thou with Purah{H6513} thy servant{H5288} down{H3381} to the camp:{H4264}

and thou shalt hear{H8085} what they say;{H1696} and afterward{H310} shall thy hands{H3027} be strengthened{H2388} to go down{H3381} into the camp.{H4264} Then went he down{H3381} with Purah{H6513} his servant{H5288} unto the outermost{H7097} part of the armed men{H2571} that were in the camp.{H4264}

And the Midianites{H4080} and the Amalekites{H6002} and all the children{H1121} of the east{H6924} lay{H5307} along in the valley{H6010} like locusts{H697} for multitude;{H7230} and their camels{H1581} were without number,{H4557} as the sand{H2344} which is upon the sea-shore{H8193} {H3220} for multitude.{H7230}

And when Gideon{H1439} was come,{H935} behold, there was a man{H376} telling{H5608} a dream{H2472} unto his fellow;{H7453} and he said,{H559} Behold, I dreamed{H2492} a dream;{H2472} and, lo, a cake{H6742} of barley{H8184} bread{H3899} tumbled{H2015} into the camp{H4264} of Midian,{H4080} and came{H935} unto the tent,{H168} and smote{H5221} it so that it fell,{H5307} and turned it upside down,{H2015} so that the tent{H168} lay flat.{H5307}

And his fellow{H7453} answered{H6030} and said,{H559} This is nothing else save the sword{H2719} of Gideon{H1439} the son{H1121} of Joash,{H3101} a man{H376} of Israel:{H3478} into his hand{H3027} God{H430} hath delivered{H5414} Midian,{H4080} and all the host.{H4264}

And it was so, when Gideon{H1439} heard{H8085} the telling{H4557} of the dream,{H2472} and the interpretation{H7667} thereof, that he worshipped;{H7812} and he returned{H7725} into the camp{H4264} of Israel,{H3478} and said,{H559} Arise;{H6965} for Jehovah{H3068} hath delivered{H5414} into your hand{H3027} the host{H4264} of Midian.{H4080}

And he divided{H2673} the three{H7969} hundred{H3967} men{H376} into three{H7969} companies,{H7218} and he put{H5414} into the hands{H3027} of all of them trumpets,{H7782} and empty{H7386} pitchers,{H3537} with torches{H3940} within{H8432} the pitchers.{H3537}

And he said{H559} unto them, Look{H7200} on me, and do{H6213} likewise: and, behold, when I come{H935} to the outermost{H7097} part of the camp,{H4264} it shall be that, as I do,{H6213} so shall ye do.{H6213}

When I blow{H8628} the trumpet,{H7782} I and all that are with me, then blow{H8628} ye the trumpets{H7782} also on every side{H5439} of all the camp,{H4264} and say,{H559} For Jehovah{H3068} and for Gideon.{H1439}

So Gideon,{H1439} and the hundred{H3967} men{H376} that were with him, came{H935} unto the outermost{H7097} part of the camp{H4264} in the beginning{H7218} of the middle{H8484} watch,{H821} when they had but{H389} newly{H6965} set{H6965} the watch:{H8104} and they blew{H8628} the trumpets,{H7782} and brake{H5310} in pieces the pitchers{H3537} that were in their hands.{H3027}

And the three{H7969} companies{H7218} blew{H8628} the trumpets,{H7782} and brake{H7665} the pitchers,{H3537} and held{H2388} the torches{H3940} in their left{H8040} hands,{H3027} and the trumpets{H7782} in their right{H3225} hands{H3027} wherewith to blow;{H8628} and they cried,{H7121} The sword{H2719} of Jehovah{H3068} and of Gideon.{H1439}

And they stood{H5975} every man{H376} in his place round about{H5439} the camp;{H4264} and all the host{H4264} ran;{H7323} and they shouted,{H7321} and put [them] to flight.{H5127}

And they blew{H8628} the three{H7969} hundred{H3967} trumpets,{H7782} and Jehovah{H3068} set{H7760} every man's{H376} sword{H2719} against his fellow,{H7453} and against all the host;{H4264} and the host{H4264} fled{H5127} as far as Beth-shittah{H1029} toward Zererah,{H6888} as far as the border{H8193} of Abel-meholah,{H65} by Tabbath.{H2888}

And the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} were gathered together{H6817} out of Naphtali,{H5321} and out of Asher,{H836} and out of all Manasseh,{H4519} and pursued{H7291} after{H310} Midian.{H4080}

And Gideon{H1439} sent{H7971} messengers{H4397} throughout all the hill-country{H2022} of Ephraim,{H669} saying,{H559} Come down{H3381} against{H7125} Midian,{H4080} and take{H3920} before them the waters,{H4325} as far as Beth-barah,{H1012} even the Jordan.{H3383} So all the men{H376} of Ephraim{H669} were gathered together,{H6817} and took{H3920} the waters{H4325} as far as Beth-barah,{H1012} even the Jordan.{H3383}

And they took{H3920} the two{H8147} princes{H8269} of Midian,{H4080} Oreb{H6159} and Zeeb;{H2062} and they slew{H2026} Oreb{H6159} at the rock{H6697} of Oreb,{H6159} and Zeeb{H2062} they slew{H2026} at the winepress{H3342} of Zeeb,{H2062} and pursued{H7291} Midian:{H4080} and they brought{H935} the heads{H7218} of Oreb{H6159} and Zeeb{H2062} to Gideon{H1439} beyond{H5676} the Jordan.{H3383}
