9And that night Yahweh said to him, “Get up; go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand. 10But if you are afraid, go down to the camp with Purah your servant, 11and you will hear what they say; and afterward you will have courage,e and you will go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed menf that were in the camp. 12Now the Midianites,g Amalekites,h and all the people of the east were lying in the valley, like a great multitude of locusts; their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand that is on the shore of the sea. 13When Gideon came, a man was recounting a dreami to his friend, and he said, “Behold, I had a dream;j a round loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came up to the tent, it struck it, and it fell and turned it upside down so that the tent fell.” 14His friend answered him and said, “This cannot be anything except the sword of Gideon son of Jehoash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and the entire camp into his hand.”
