 7:1 ¶ Then Ierubbaal 3378 (who x1931 is Gideon) 1439 and all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 were with x854 him, rose vp earely, 7925 z8686 and pitched 2583 z8799 beside x5921 the well x5878 of Harod: 5878 so that the hoste 4264 of the Midianites 4080 were x1961 on the North side 6828 x4480 of them by the hill 1389 x4480 of Moreh, 4176 in the valley. 6010

 7:2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Gideon, 1439 The people 5971 that x834 are with x854 thee, [are] too many 7227 for me to giue 5414 z8800 x853 the Midianites 4080 into their handes, 3027 lest x6435 Israel 3478 vaunt y6286 z8691 themselues x6286 against x5921 mee, saying, 559 z8800 Mine owne hand 3027 hath saued 3467 z8689 me.

 7:3 Now x6288 therefore go to, 4994 proclaime 7121 z8798 in the eares 241 of the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Whosoeuer x4310 is fearefull 3373 and afraid, 2730 let him returne 7725 z8799 and depart earely 6852 z8799 from mount 2022 x4480 Gilead: 1568 and there returned 7725 z8799 of x4480 the people 5971 twentie 6242 and two 8147 thousand, 505 & there remained 7604 z8738 ten 6235 thousand. 505

 7:4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Gideon, 1439 The people 5971 [are] yet x5750 too many: 7227 bring them downe 3381 z8685 x853 vnto x413 the water, 4325 and I wil trie 6884 z8799 them for thee there: x8033 and it shall bee x1961 that of whome x834 I say 559 z8799 vnto x413 thee, This x2088 shall goe y3212 z8799 x1980 with x854 thee, the same x1931 shall goe y3212 z8799 x1980 with x854 thee: and of whomsoeuer x3605 x834 I say 559 z8799 vnto x413 thee, This x2088 shal not x3808 goe y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 thee, the same x1931 shall not x3808 goe. y3212 z8799 x1980

 7:5 So he brought downe 3381 z8686 x853 the people 5971 vnto x413 the water: 4325 and the LORD 3068 sayd 559 z8799 vnto x413 Gideon, 1439 Euery one x3605 that x834 lappeth 3952 z8799 of x4480 the water 4325 with his tongue 3956 as x834 a dog 3611 lappeth, 3952 z8799 him shalt thou set 3322 z8686 by himselfe, x905 likewise euery one x3605 that x834 boweth downe 3766 z8799 vpon x5921 his knees 1290 to drinke. 8354 z8800

 7:6 And the number 4557 of them that lapped 3952 z8764 [putting] their hand 3027 to x413 their mouth, 6310 were x1961 three 7969 hundred 3967 men: 376 but all x3605 the rest 3499 of the people 5971 bowed downe 3766 z8804 vpon x5921 their knees 1290 to drinke 8354 z8800 water. 4325

 7:7 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Gideon, 1439 By the three 7969 hundred 3967 men 376 that lapped, 3952 z8764 will I saue 3467 z8686 you, and deliuer 5414 z8804 x853 the Midianites 4080 into thine hand: 3027 and let all x3605 the [other] people 5971 goe y3212 z8799 x1980 euery man 376 vnto his place. 4725

 7:8 So the people 5971 tooke 3947 z8799 x853 victuals 6720 in their hand, 3027 and their trumpets: 7782 and he sent 7971 z8765 all y376 x3605 [the rest of] Israel, 3478 euery man 376 vnto his tent, 168 and reteined 2388 z8689 those three 7969 hundred 3967 men: 376 and the hoste 4264 of Midian 4080 was x1961 beneath x4480 x8478 him in the valley. 6010

 7:9 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 the same x1931 night, 3915 that the LORD 3068 sayd 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Arise, 6965 z8798 get thee downe 3381 z8798 vnto the hoste, 4264 for x3588 I haue deliuered 5414 z8804 it into thine hand. 3027

 7:10 But if x518 thou x859 feare y3373 x3372 to goe downe, 3381 z8800 goe 3381 z0 thou x859 with Phurah 6513 thy seruant 5288 downe 3381 z8798 to x413 the hoste. 4264

 7:11 And thou shalt heare 8085 z8804 what x4100 they say, 1696 z8762 and afterward 310 shall thine handes 3027 be strengthened 2388 z8799 to goe downe 3381 z8804 vnto the hoste. 4264 Then went hee downe, 3381 z8799 with Phurah 6513 his seruant, 5288 vnto x413 the outside 7097 of the armed men, 2571 that x834 were in the hoste. 4264

 7:12 And the Midianites, 4080 and the Amalekites, y6002 x6003 and all x3605 the children 1121 of the East, 6924 lay 5307 z8802 along in the valley 6010 like grashoppers 697 for multitude, 7230 and their camels 1581 were without x369 number, 4557 as the sand 2344 by x7945 x5921 the Sea 3220 side 8193 for multitude. 7230

 7:13 And when Gideon 1439 was come, 935 z8799 beholde, x2009 there was a man 376 that tolde 5608 z8764 a dreame 2472 vnto his fellow, 7453 and sayd, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 I dreamed 2492 z8804 a dreame, 2472 and loe, x2009 a cake 6742 z8675 of Barley 8184 bread 3899 tumbled 2015 z8693 into the hoste 4264 of Midian, 4080 and came 935 z8799 vnto x5704 a tent, 168 and smote 5221 z8686 it that it fell, 5307 z8799 and ouerturned 2015 4605 z8799 it, that the tent 168 lay along. 5307 z8804

 7:14 And his fellow 7453 answered, 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 This x2063 is nothing els x369 saue x1115 x518 the sword 2719 of Gideon 1439 the sonne 1121 of Ioash, 3101 a man 376 of Israel: 3478 [for] into his hand 3027 hath God 430 deliuered 5414 z8804 x853 Midian, 4080 and all x3605 the hoste. 4264

 7:15 ¶ And it was x1961 [so], when Gideon 1439 heard 8085 z8800 x853 the telling 4557 of the dreame, 2472 and the interpretation 7667 thereof, that hee worshipped, 7812 z8691 and returned 7725 z8799 into x413 the host 4264 of Israel, 3478 and sayd, 559 z8799 Arise, 6965 z8798 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath deliuered 5414 z8804 into your hand 3027 x853 the host 4264 of Midian. 4080

 7:16 And he diuided 2673 z8799 x853 the three 7969 hundred 3967 men 376 into three 7969 companies, 7218 and hee put 5414 z8799 a trumpet 7782 in euery mans x3605 hand, 3027 with empty 7386 pitchers, 3537 and lampes 3940 within 8432 the pitchers, 3537

 7:17 And hee said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Looke 7200 z8799 on x4480 mee, and doe 6213 z8799 likewise; x3651 and beholde, x2009 when I x595 come 935 z8802 to the outside 7097 of the campe, 4264 it shall be x1961 that as x834 I doe, 6213 z8799 so x3651 shall ye doe. 6213 z8799

 7:18 When I blow 8628 z8804 with a trumpet, 7782 I x595 and all x3605 that x834 are with x854 mee, then blow 8628 z8804 ye x859 the trumpets 7782 also x1571 on euery side 5439 of all x3605 the campe, 4264 and say, 559 z8804 [The sword] of the LORD, 3068 and of Gideon. 1439

 7:19 ¶ So Gideon 1439 and the hundred 3967 men 376 that x834 were with x854 him, came 935 z8799 vnto the outside 7097 of the campe, 4264 in the beginning 7218 of the middle 8484 watch, 821 and they had but 389 newly y6965 z8687 set 6965 z8689 x853 the watch, 8104 z8802 and they blew 8628 z8799 the trumpets, 7782 and brake 5310 z8800 the pitchers 3537 that x834 were in their hands. 3027

 7:20 And the three 7969 companies 7218 blew 8628 z8799 the trumpets, 7782 and brake 7665 z8799 the pitchers, 3537 and held 2388 z8686 the lampes 3940 in their left 8040 hands, 3027 and the trumpets 7782 in their right 3225 hands 3027 to blow 8628 z8800 [withall]: and they cryed, 7121 z8799 The sword 2719 of the LORD, 3068 and of Gideon. 1439

 7:21 And they stood 5975 z8799 euery man 376 in his place, x8478 round about 5439 the campe: 4264 and all x3605 the host 4264 ranne, 7323 z8799 and cried, 7321 z8686 and fled. 5127 z8799 z8675 z8686

 7:22 And the three 7969 hundred 3967 blew 8628 z8799 the trumpets, 7782 and the LORD 3068 set 7760 z8799 x853 euery mans 376 sword 2719 against his fellow, 7453 euen throughout all x3605 the host: 4264 and the host 4264 fled 5127 z8799 to x5704 Beth-shittah, 1029 in Zererath, 6888 and to x5704 the border 8193 of Abel Meholah, 65 vnto x5921 Tabbath. 2888

 7:23 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 gathered themselues together 6817 z8735 out of Naphtali, 5321 x4480 and out of x4480 Asher, 836 and out of x4480 all x3605 Manasseh, 4519 and pursued 7291 z8799 after 310 the Midianites. 4080

 7:24 ¶ And Gideon 1439 sent 7971 z8804 messengers 4397 throughout all x3605 mount 2022 Ephraim, 669 saying; 559 z8800 Come downe 3381 z8798 against 7125 z8800 the Midianites, 4080 and take 3920 z8798 before them x853 the waters 4325 vnto x5704 Beth-barah, 1012 and Iordan. 3383 Then all x3605 the men 376 of Ephraim 669 gathered themselues together, 6817 z8735 and tooke 3920 z8799 x853 the waters 4325 vnto x5704 Beth-barah, 1012 and Iordane. 3383
