Judges 7:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place.

⁸ So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madian was beneath him in the valley.

⁹ The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand.
