⁹ Now it happened the same night that Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, ^(A)for I have given it into your hands. ¹⁰ But if you are afraid to go down, then both you and Purah your young man, go down to the camp, ¹¹ and you will hear what they say; and ^(B)afterward your hands will be strengthened, that you may go down against the camp.” So he went with Purah his young man down to the ^[a]outskirts of the armed men that were in the camp. ¹² Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley ^(C)as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, ^(D)as numerous as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ Then Gideon came, and behold, a man was recounting a dream to his friend. And he said, “Behold, I ^[b]had a dream; ^[c]a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it ^[d]upside down so that the tent lay flat.” ¹⁴ And his friend answered and said, “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp ^(E)into his hand.”
