RF JDG 7:1 (B.C. 1248.) Then Jerubal (who was Gideon) arose, and all the people who were with him, and encamped at the Well of Harod overlooking from the north the camp of Morah upon the plain.
RF JDG 7:2 But the EVER-LIVING said to Gideon, "There are too many people with you for Me to give the Midianites into your power, for fear Israel should glorify against Me, and say, 'My hand has saved myself!'
RF JDG 7:3 Therefore, now, proclaim in the hearing of the people, and say 'Who is afraid and timid? Let him return and depart to Mount Gilad.' Consequently twenty-two thousand of the people departed, but there were left ten thousand.
RF JDG 7:4 But the EVER-LIVING again said to Gideon, "The people are too many. Order them down to the brook, and there select for yourself; and whoever replies to you thus, I will go with you! 'let him go with you. But all who say, 'I will not go with you!' let him not go with you."
RF JDG 7:5 So he took those men with him down to the brook, where the EVER-LIVING said to Gideon, "All who lap with the tongue from the brook, like a dog laps, place them by themselves. And all who bend on the knees to drink."
RF JDG 7:6 And the number of the lappers from the hand to their mouths was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people knelt on the knee to drink from the brook.
RF JDG 7:7 Then the EVER-LIVING said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men who lapped, I will rescue you, and give Midian into your hand."
RF JDG 7:8 So the people took their staves in their hands and their clothing, and all the force of Israel went off to their homes, except those three hundred brave men. And the camp of Midian was opposite those in the plain.
RF JDG 7:9 (B.C. 1248.) Midian and her Allies Defeated.
And night came. Then the LORD said to him:—"Arise! Descend to the camp, for I will give it to your hand!
RF JDG 7:10 But if you fear the descent, go down with Phurah your squire, to the camp,
RF JDG 7:11 when you will hear what they say, and after that embolden your hand."
The Midianite's Dream of the Barley Cake.
He therefore descended to the camp, and Phurah his squire went down with him to the officers' quarters who were over the camp,
RF JDG 7:12 where Midian and Amalek and the Beni-Kedem were spread over the plain like locusts for number, and their camels were innumerable like dust scattered on the shore of the sea for multitude.
RF JDG 7:13 But Gideon proceeded, and perceived a man relating a dream to his comrade, who said, "I have dreamed a dream; when I saw a round barley cake thrown into the camp of Midian, and it went to the General's pavilion and struck it, and it fell; but it bounded forward, and another pavilion fell!"
RF JDG 7:14 Then his comrade answered and said, "That is nothing else than the sword of Gideon-ben-Joash, the man of Israel! GOD will give Midian and all this camp into his power!"
RF JDG 7:15 But when Gideon heard this dream related, and its interpretation, he bowed down, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise, for the LORD will give the camp of Midian to your hands!"
RF JDG 7:16 Then he divided the three hundred men into three divisions, and all of them took trumpets in their hands, with dark lanterns, and lamps inside the dark lanterns;
RF JDG 7:17 and he said to them, "Watch me; and what I do, you do the same. And when I come to the edge of the camp,—what I do then you also do it.
RF JDG 7:18 When I blow my trumpet, then all of you blow your trumpets with me all around the camp, and shout, The Sword of the LORD and of Gideon.'"
RF JDG 7:19 Then Gideon and the hundred men with him went to the head-quarters' side of the camp, where the officers were stationed, and sounded the trumpet, and opened the dark lanterns they carried.
RF JDG 7:20 The three divisions also blew their trumpets, and waved their dark lanterns, and rushed on with the lanterns in their left hands and the trumpets in their right, blowing and shouting, "The Sword of the LORD and of Gideon,"
RF JDG 7:21 and halted outside around the camp, and aroused all in the camp, who fled in terror.
RF JDG 7:22 But the three hundred continued to blow the trumpets, and the EVER-LIVING turned the sword of each against his comrade in all the camp, and the camp fled in confusion to the edge of the meadows of Nekholah, near Tabath.
RF JDG 7:23 Gideon collects the Northern Tribes to join him in the War, but the Chiefs of Ephraim quarrel with him, and refuse to join.
The Man of Israel afterwards summoned Naphtali and Ashur, and all Manasseh, and they followed after Midian.
RF JDG 7:24 Gideon also sent messengers to the whole of Mount Ephraim, to say; "Descend to meet Midian, and capture from them the fords at Bethbarah and of the Jordan." So they called out every man of Ephraim, and captured the fords at Bethbarah and at the Jordan,
RF JDG 7:25 and captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and executed Zeeb at the wine-press of Zeeb, and continued the pursuit of Midian, but they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from beyond the Jordan.
