Judges 7:8-19

⁸And so when they had taken meats and trumps for the number of them, he commanded all the tother multitude to go (back) to their tabernacles; and Gideon, with (those) three hundred men, gave himself to the battle. And the tents of Midian were beneath in the valley (or And the tents of the Midianites were pitched below him in the valley).

⁹In the same night the Lord said to him, Rise thou (up), and go down into their tents, for I have betaken them in thine hand (or for I have delivered them into thy hands);

¹⁰and if thou dreadest to go alone, Phurah, thy servant, go down with thee. (and if thou fearest to go down alone, let thy servant Phurah go down with thee.)

¹¹And when thou shalt hear what they speak, then thine hands shall be strengthened, and thou shalt go down securer to the tents of the enemies. Therefore he went down, and Phurah, his servant, (or And so he, and his servant Phurah, went down), into the part of the tents, where the watches of (the) armed men were.

¹²And Midian, and Amalek, and all the peoples of the east lay spread abroad in the valley, as the multitude of locusts; and the camels were unnumberable, as gravel that lieth in the brink of the sea. (And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the peoples of the east lay spread abroad in the valley, like a multitude of locusts; and their camels were innumerable, like the gravel, or the sand, that lieth at the seashore.)

¹³And when Gideon had come down, a man told (of) a dream to his neighbour, and he told by this manner that, that he had seen, (saying), I saw a dream, and it seemed to me, that as a barley loaf, baken under ashes, was wallowed, and it came down into the tents of Midian; and when it had come to a tabernacle, it smote it, and destroyed it, and made it even utterly to the earth. (And when Gideon had come down, a man told his neighbour about a dream that he had, and he told in this manner what he had seen, saying, I had a dream, and it seemed to me, that a barley loaf, baked under ashes, was rolled down into the tents of the Midianites; and when it came to a tent, it struck it, and destroyed it, and made it utterly even to the ground.)

¹⁴That man answered, to whom he spake, (or And that man to whom he spoke, answered), This is none other thing, no but the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, a man of Israel; for the Lord God hath betaken Midian, and all the tents thereof, into the hands of Gideon.

¹⁵And when Gideon had heard the dream, and the interpreting thereof, he worshipped the Lord, and turned again to the tents of Israel, and said, Rise ye (up); for the Lord hath betaken into our hands the tents of Midian, (or for the Lord hath delivered the host, or the army, of the Midianites into our hands).

¹⁶And he parted the three hundred men into three parts, and he gave them trumps in their hands, and empty pots, and lamps (or with lamps), that is, (with) burning brands, either torches, that might not lightly be quenched, in the midst of the pots.

¹⁷And he said to them, Do ye this thing which ye see me do; I shall enter into a part of the tents, and follow ye that, that I do.

¹⁸When the trump in my hand shall sound, sound ye also all about the tents, and cry ye together, To the Lord, and to Gideon.

¹⁹And Gideon entered, and the three hundred men that were with him, into a part of the tents, when the watches of midnight began; and when the keepers were raised, they began to sound with trumps, and to beat together the pots among themselves, (or and after the guards had changed, they began to sound with the trumpets, and to beat the pots together).
