Judges 7:16-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And he divided the three hundred men into three bands, and gave every man a trumpet in his hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps inside the pitchers.

¹⁷ And he said to them, “Look at me and do likewise when I come to the edge of the camp. Just as I do, so do you.

¹⁸ “When I blow with a trumpet, all who are with me also blow with trumpets, on every side of the camp, and say, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”

¹⁹ So, Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outer edge of the camp, in the beginning of the middle watch, and they raised up the watchmen. And they blew with their trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

²⁰ And the three companies blew with trumpets and broke the pitchers. And they held the lamps in their left hand and the trumpets in their right hands, to blow them. And they cried, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”
