Judges 7:9–14

⁹Now it happened the same night that Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, ^afor I have given it into your hands.

¹⁰“But if you are afraid to go down, then both you and Purah your young man, go down to the camp,

¹¹and you will hear what they say; and ^aafterward your hands will be strengthened, that you may go down against the camp.” So he went with Purah his young man down to the ¹outskirts of the armed men that were in the camp.

¹²Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley ^aas numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, ^bas numerous as the sand on the seashore.

¹³Then Gideon came, and behold, a man was recounting a dream to his friend. And he said, “Behold, I ¹had a dream; ²a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it ³upside down so that the tent lay flat.”

¹⁴And his friend answered and said, “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp ^ainto his hand.”
