Judges 7:9–14

⁹Now the same night it came about that the Lord 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, go with Purah your servant 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 servant down to the ¹outposts of the army that was 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.

¹³When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating 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.”

¹⁴His friend replied, “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.”
