1 Gideon's army of two and thirty thousand is brought to three hundred. 9 He is encouraged by the dream and interpretation of the barley cake. 16 His stratagem of trumpets and lamps in pitchers. 24 The Ephraimites take Oreb and Zeeb.

 7:1 ¶ Then Jerubbaal, 3378 who x1931 [is] Gideon, 1439 and all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 [were] with x854 him, rose up early, 7925 z8686 and pitched 2583 z8799 beside x5921 the well x5878 of Harod: 5878 so that the host 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 unto x413 Gideon, 1439 The people 5971 that x834 [are] with x854 thee [are] too many 7227 for me to give 5414 z8800 x853 the Midianites 4080 into their hands, 3027 lest x6435 Israel 3478 vaunt y6286 z8691 themselves x6286 against x5921 me, saying, 559 z8800 Mine own hand 3027 hath saved 3467 z8689 me.

 7:3 Now x6288 therefore go to, 4994 proclaim 7121 z8798 in the ears 241 of the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Whosoever x4310 [is] fearful 3373 and afraid, 2730 let him return 7725 z8799 and depart early 6852 z8799 from mount 2022 x4480 Gilead. 1568 And there returned 7725 z8799 of x4480 the people 5971 twenty 6242 and two 8147 thousand; 505 and there remained 7604 z8738 ten 6235 thousand. 505

 7:4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Gideon, 1439 The people 5971 [are] yet x5750 [too] many; 7227 bring them down 3381 z8685 x853 unto x413 the water, 4325 and I will try 6884 z8799 them for thee there: x8033 and it shall be, x1961 [that] of whom x834 I say 559 z8799 unto x413 thee, This x2088 shall go y3212 z8799 x1980 with x854 thee, the same x1931 shall go y3212 z8799 x1980 with x854 thee; and of whomsoever x3605 x834 I say 559 z8799 unto x413 thee, This x2088 shall not x3808 go y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 thee, the same x1931 shall not x3808 go. y3212 z8799 x1980

 7:5 So he brought down 3381 z8686 x853 the people 5971 unto x413 the water: 4325 and the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Gideon, 1439 Every 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 himself; x905 likewise every one x3605 that x834 boweth down 3766 z8799 upon x5921 his knees 1290 to drink. 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 down 3766 z8804 upon x5921 their knees 1290 to drink 8354 z8800 water. 4325

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

 7:8 So the people 5971 took 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 every man 376 unto his tent, 168 and retained 2388 z8689 those three 7969 hundred 3967 men: 376 and the host 4264 of Midian 4080 was x1961 beneath x4480 x8478 him in the valley. 6010

 7:9 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 the same x1931 night, 3915 that the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Arise, 6965 z8798 get thee down 3381 z8798 unto the host; 4264 for x3588 I have delivered 5414 z8804 it into thine hand. 3027

 7:10 But if x518 thou x859 fear y3373 x3372 to go down, 3381 z8800 go 3381 z0 thou x859 with Phurah 6513 thy servant 5288 down 3381 z8798 to x413 the host: 4264

 7:11 And thou shalt hear 8085 z8804 what x4100 they say; 1696 z8762 and afterward 310 shall thine hands 3027 be strengthened 2388 z8799 to go down 3381 z8804 unto the host. 4264 Then went he down 3381 z8799 with Phurah 6513 his servant 5288 unto x413 the outside 7097 of the armed men 2571 that x834 [were] in the host. 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 grasshoppers 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 behold, x2009 [there was] a man 376 that told 5608 z8764 a dream 2472 unto his fellow, 7453 and said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 I dreamed 2492 z8804 a dream, 2472 and, lo, x2009 a cake 6742 z8675 of barley 8184 bread 3899 tumbled 2015 z8693 into the host 4264 of Midian, 4080 and came 935 z8799 unto x5704 a tent, 168 and smote 5221 z8686 it that it fell, 5307 z8799 and overturned 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 else x369 save x1115 x518 the sword 2719 of Gideon 1439 the son 1121 of Joash, 3101 a man 376 of Israel: 3478 [for] into his hand 3027 hath God 430 delivered 5414 z8804 x853 Midian, 4080 and all x3605 the host. 4264

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

 7:16 And he divided 2673 z8799 x853 the three 7969 hundred 3967 men 376 [into] three 7969 companies, 7218 and he put 5414 z8799 a trumpet 7782 in every man's x3605 hand, 3027 with empty 7386 pitchers, 3537 and lamps 3940 within 8432 the pitchers. 3537

 7:17 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Look 7200 z8799 on x4480 me, and do 6213 z8799 likewise: x3651 and, behold, x2009 when I x595 come 935 z8802 to the outside 7097 of the camp, 4264 it shall be x1961 [that], as x834 I do, 6213 z8799 so x3651 shall ye do. 6213 z8799

 7:18 When I blow 8628 z8804 with a trumpet, 7782 I x595 and all x3605 that x834 [are] with x854 me, then blow 8628 z8804 ye x859 the trumpets 7782 also x1571 on every side 5439 of all x3605 the camp, 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 unto the outside 7097 of the camp 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 broke 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 broke 7665 z8799 the pitchers, 3537 and held 2388 z8686 the lamps 3940 in their left 8040 hands, 3027 and the trumpets 7782 in their right 3225 hands 3027 to blow 8628 z8800 [withal]: and they cried, 7121 z8799 The sword 2719 of the LORD, 3068 and of Gideon. 1439

 7:21 And they stood 5975 z8799 every man 376 in his place x8478 round about 5439 the camp: 4264 and all x3605 the host 4264 ran, 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 every man's 376 sword 2719 against his fellow, 7453 even 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 unto x5921 Tabbath. 2888

 7:23 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 gathered themselves 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 down 3381 z8798 against 7125 z8800 the Midianites, 4080 and take 3920 z8798 before them x853 the waters 4325 unto x5704 Beth-barah 1012 and Jordan. 3383 Then all x3605 the men 376 of Ephraim 669 gathered themselves together, 6817 z8735 and took 3920 z8799 x853 the waters 4325 unto x5704 Beth-barah 1012 and Jordan. 3383

 7:25 And they took 3920 z8799 two 8147 princes 8269 of the Midianites, 4080 x853 Oreb 6159 and Zeeb; 2062 and they slew 2026 z8799 x853 Oreb 6159 upon the rock 6697 Oreb, 6159 and Zeeb 2062 they slew 2026 z8804 at the winepress 3342 of Zeeb, 2062 and pursued 7291 z8799 x413 Midian, 4080 and brought 935 z8689 the heads 7218 of Oreb 6159 and Zeeb 2062 to x413 Gideon 1439 on the other side 5676 x4480 Jordan. 3383
