Judges 7:9-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ Now the same night it came about that the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, ^(A)for 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, ¹¹ and you will hear what they say; and ^(B)afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant down to the ^[a]outposts of the army that was in the camp. ¹² Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley ^(C)as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, ^(D)as numerous as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, “Behold, I ^[b]had a dream; ^[c]a 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 ^[d]upside down so that the tent lay flat.” ¹⁴ His 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 ^(E)into his hand.”
