  7:1 ¶
And Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal} rose early, the same is Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Midian{gr.Madiam} was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley. |
|
7:1 ¶
Then Jerubbaal,°
who°
[is] Gideon,°
and all°
the people°
that°
[were] with°
him, rose up early,°°
and pitched°°
beside°
the well°
of Harod:°
so that the host°
of the Midianites°
were°
on the north side°°
of them, by the hill°°
of Moreh,°
in the valley.° |
|
7:2
And the Lord said to Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, The people with thee [are] many, so that I may not deliver Midian{gr.Madiam} into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me. |
|
7:2
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
Gideon,°
The people°
that°
[are] with°
thee [are] too many°
for me to give°°°
the Midianites°
into their hands,°
lest°
Israel°
vaunt°°
themselves°
against°
me, saying,°°
Mine own hand°
hath saved°°
me. |
|
7:3
And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Gilead{gr.Galaad}: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left. |
|
7:3
Now°
therefore go to,°
proclaim°°
in the ears°
of the people,°
saying,°°
Whosoever°
[is] fearful°
and afraid,°
let him return°°
and depart early°°
from mount°°
Gilead.°
And there returned°°
of°
the people°
twenty°
and two°
thousand;°
and there remained°°
ten°
thousand.° |
|
7:4
And the Lord said to Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for thee: and it shall come to pass that of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall go with thee, [even] he shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I shall say to thee, This one shall not go with thee, [even] he shall not go with thee. |
|
7:4
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
Gideon,°
The people°
[are] yet°
[too] many;°
bring them down°°°
unto°
the water,°
and I will try°°
them for thee there:°
and it shall be,°
[that] of whom°
I say°°
unto°
thee, This°
shall go°°°
with°
thee, the same°
shall go°°°
with°
thee; and of whomsoever°°
I say°°
unto°
thee, This°
shall not°
go°°°
with°
thee, the same°
shall not°
go.°°° |
|
7:5
And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, thou shalt set him apart, and [also] whosoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink. |
|
7:5
So he brought down°°°
the people°
unto°
the water:°
and Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
Gideon,°
Every one°
that°
lappeth°°
of°
the water°
with his tongue,°
as°
a dog°
lappeth,°°
him shalt thou set°°
by himself;°
likewise every one°
that°
boweth down°°
upon°
his knees°
to drink.°° |
|
7:6
And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water. |
|
7:6
And the number°
of them that lapped,°°
[putting] their hand°
to°
their mouth,°
were°
three°
hundred°
men:°
but all°
the rest°
of the people°
bowed down°°
upon°
their knees°
to drink°°
water.° |
|
7:7
And the Lord said to Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Midian{gr.Madiam} into thy hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place. |
|
7:7
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
Gideon,°
By the three°
hundred°
men°
that lapped°°
will I save°°
you, and deliver°°°
the Midianites°
into thine hand:°
and let all°
the [other] people°
go°°°
every man°
unto his place.° |
|
7:8
And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Midian{gr.Madiam} were beneath him in the valley. |
|
7:8
So the people°
took°°°
victuals°
in their hand,°
and their trumpets:°
and he sent°°
all°°
[the rest of] Israel°
every man°
unto his tent,°
and retained°°
those three°
hundred°
men:°
and the host°
of Midian°
was°
beneath°°
him in the valley.° |
|
7:9 ¶
And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand. |
|
7:9 ¶
And it came to pass°
the same°
night,°
that Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
him, Arise,°°
get thee down°°
unto the host;°
for°
I have delivered°°
it into thine hand.° |
|
7:10
And if thou art afraid to go down, go down thou and thy servant Phara into the camp. |
|
7:10
But if°
thou°
fear°°
to go down,°°
go°°
thou°
with Phurah°
thy servant°
down°°
to°
the host:° |
|
7:11
And thou shalt hear what they shall say, and afterwards thy hands shall be strong, and thou shalt go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp. |
|
7:11
And thou shalt hear°°
what°
they say;°°
and afterward°
shall thine hands°
be strengthened°°
to go down°°
unto the host.°
Then went he down°°
with Phurah°
his servant°
unto°
the outside°
of the armed men°
that°
[were] in the host.° |
|
7:12
And Midian{gr.Madiam} and Amalek{gr.Amalec} and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude. |
|
7:12
And the Midianites°
and the Amalekites°°
and all°
the children°
of the east°
lay°°
along in the valley°
like grasshoppers°
for multitude;°
and their camels°
[were] without°
number,°
as the sand°
by°°
the sea°
side°
for multitude.° |
|
7:13
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Midian{gr.Madiam}, and it came as far as a tent, and smote it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell. |
|
7:13
And when Gideon°
was come,°°
behold,°
[there was] a man°
that told°°
a dream°
unto his fellow,°
and said,°°
Behold,°
I dreamed°°
a dream,°
and, lo,°
a cake°°
of barley°
bread°
tumbled°°
into the host°
of Midian,°
and came°°
unto°
a tent,°
and smote°°
it that it fell,°°
and overturned°°°
it, that the tent°
lay along.°° |
|
7:14
And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, son of Joash{gr.Joas}, a man of Israel: God has delivered Midian{gr.Madiam} and all the host into his hand. |
|
7:14
And his fellow°
answered°°
and said,°°
This°
[is] nothing else°
save°°
the sword°
of Gideon°
the son°
of Joash,°
a man°
of Israel:°
[for] into his hand°
hath Elohim°
delivered°°°
Midian,°
and all°
the host.° |
|
7:15 ¶
And it came to pass when Gideon{gr.Gedeon} heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian{gr.Madiam} into our hand. |
|
7:15 ¶
And it was°
[so], when Gideon°
heard°°°
the telling°
of the dream,°
and the interpretation°
thereof, that he worshipped,°°
and returned°°
into°
the host°
of Israel,°
and said,°°
Arise;°°
for°
Yahweh°
hath delivered°°
into your hand°°
the host°
of Midian.° |
|
7:16
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers: |
|
7:16
And he divided°°°
the three°
hundred°
men°
[into] three°
companies,°
and he put°°
a trumpet°
in every man's°
hand,°
with empty°
pitchers,°
and lamps°
within°
the pitchers.° |
|
7:17
and he said to them, Ye shall look at me, and so shall ye do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall ye do. |
|
7:17
And he said°°
unto°
them, Look°°
on°
me, and do°°
likewise:°
and, behold,°
when I°
come°°
to the outside°
of the camp,°
it shall be°
[that], as°
I do,°°
so°
shall ye do.°° |
|
7:18
And I will sound with the horn, and all ye with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and ye shall say, For the Lord and Gideon{gr.Gedeon}. |
|
7:18
When I blow°°
with a trumpet,°
I°
and all°
that°
[are] with°
me, then blow°°
ye°
the trumpets°
also°
on every side°
of all°
the camp,°
and say,°°
[The sword] of Yahweh,°
and of Gideon.° |
|
7:19 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands, |
|
7:19 ¶
So Gideon,°
and the hundred°
men°
that°
[were] with°
him, came°°
unto the outside°
of the camp°
in the beginning°
of the middle°
watch;°
and they had but°
newly°°
set°°°
the watch:°°
and they blew°°
the trumpets,°
and brake°°
the pitchers°
that°
[were] in their hands.° |
|
7:20
and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gideon{gr.Gedeon}. |
|
7:20
And the three°
companies°
blew°°
the trumpets,°
and brake°°
the pitchers,°
and held°°
the lamps°
in their left°
hands,°
and the trumpets°
in their right°
hands°
to blow°°
[withal]: and they cried,°°
The sword°
of Yahweh,°
and of Gideon.° |
|
7:21
And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled. |
|
7:21
And they stood°°
every man°
in his place°
round about°
the camp:°
and all°
the host°
ran,°°
and cried,°°
and fled.°°°° |
|
7:22
And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour. |
|
7:22
And the three°
hundred°
blew°°
the trumpets,°
and Yahweh°
set°°°
every man's°
sword°
against his fellow,°
even throughout all°
the host:°
and the host°
fled°°
to°
Bethshittah°
in Zererath,°
[and] to°
the border°
of Abelmeholah,°
unto°
Tabbath.° |
|
7:23
And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Naphtali{gr.Nephthali}, and from Asher{gr.Aser}, and from all Manasseh{gr.Manasse}, came to help, and followed after Midian{gr.Madiam}. |
|
7:23
And the men°
of Israel°
gathered themselves together°°
out of Naphtali,°°
and out of°
Asher,°
and out of°
all°
Manasseh,°
and pursued°°
after°
the Midianites.° |
|
7:24 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Midian{gr.Madiam}, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand unto Baethera and Jordan. |
|
7:24 ¶
And Gideon°
sent°°
messengers°
throughout all°
mount°
Ephraim,°
saying,°°
Come down°°
against°°
the Midianites,°
and take°°
before them°
the waters°
unto°
Bethbarah°
and Jordan.°
Then all°
the men°
of Ephraim°
gathered themselves together,°°
and took°°°
the waters°
unto°
Bethbarah°
and Jordan.° |
|
7:25
And they took the princes of Midian{gr.Madiam}, even Oreb and Zeeb{gr.Zeb}; and they slew Oreb in Shur{gr.Sur} Oreb, and they slew Zeeb{gr.Zeb} in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Midian{gr.Madiam}, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb{gr.Zeb} to Gideon{gr.Gedeon} from beyond Jordan. |
|
7:25
And they took°°
two°
princes°
of the Midianites,°°
Oreb°
and Zeeb;°
and they slew°°°
Oreb°
upon the rock°
Oreb,°
and Zeeb°
they slew°°
at the winepress°
of Zeeb,°
and pursued°°°
Midian,°
and brought°°
the heads°
of Oreb°
and Zeeb°
to°
Gideon°
on the other side°°
Jordan.° |
