*
When Gideon came ,
behold ,
a man was telling a dream to his comrade ;
and he said , "
Behold ,
I dreamed a dream ;
and lo ,
a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid '
ian ,
and came to the tent ,
and struck it so that it fell ,
and turned it upside down ,
so that the tent lay flat ."
*
And his comrade answered , "
This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Jo '
ash ,
a man of Israel ;
into his hand God has given Mid '
ian and all the host ."
*
When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation ,
he worshiped ;
and he returned to the camp of Israel ,
and said , "
Arise ;
for the LORD has given the host of Mid '
ian into your hand ."
*
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies ,
and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars ,
with torches inside the jars .
*
And he said to them , "
Look at me ,
and do likewise ;
when I come to the outskirts of the camp ,
do as I do .
*
When I blow the trumpet ,
I and all who are with me ,
then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp ,
and shout , `
For the LORD and for Gideon .'"
*
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch ,
when they had just set the watch ;
and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands .
*
And the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars ,
holding in their left hands the torches ,
and in their right hands the trumpets to blow ;
and they cried , "
A sword for the LORD and for Gideon !"
*
They stood every man in his place round about the camp ,
and all the army ran ;
they cried out and fled .
*
When they blew the three hundred trumpets ,
the LORD set every man '
s sword against his fellow and against all the army ;
and the army fled as far as Beth-shit '
tah toward Zer '
erah ,
as far as the border of A '
bel-meho '
lah ,
by Tabbath .
*
And the men of Israel were called out from Naph '
tali and from Asher and from all Manas '
seh ,
and they pursued after Mid '
ian .
