³ One time, after Isra’el’s sowing season, Midyan, with ‘Amalek and others from the east, attacked them. ⁴ They set up camp by them and destroyed the produce of the country all the way to ‘Azah; they left nothing for people to live on, no sheep, no oxen, no donkeys. ⁵ For they came up with their cattle and tents, and they came in as thick as locusts; both they and their camels were beyond numbering, and they came into the land to destroy it. ⁶ Isra’el became very discouraged because of Midyan, and the people of Isra’el cried out to Adonai.
