The second part of the Chapter.
Vers. 9. And the same night the Lord said to him, Arise, get thee down unto the host: for I have delivered it into thy hand. 10. But if thou fear to go down, then go thou and Phurah thy servant down to the host. 11. And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thy hands be strong to go down unto the host. Then went he down, and Phurach his servant unto the outside of the soldiers that were in the host. 12. And the Midianites and the Amalekites, and all they of the East lay in the valley like grasshoppers in multitude, and their Camels were without number, as the sand which is by the sea side for multitude. 13. And when Gideon was come, behold a man told a dream unto his neighbour, and said: Behold I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled from above into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent fell down. 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 God delivered Midian and all the host. 15. When Gideon heard the dream told, and the interpretation of the same, he worshipped, and returned unto the host of Israel, and said, Up: for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
Vers. 9. And the same night the Lord said to him, Arise, get thee downe vnto the hoast: for I haue deliuered it into thy hand. 10. But if thou feare to goe downe, then goe thou and Phurah thy seruant down to the hoast. 11. And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thy hands be strong to goe downe vnto the hoast. Then went he downe, and Phurach his seruant vnto the outside of the souldiers that were in the hoast. 12. And the Midianites and the Amalekites, and all they of the East lay in the valley like grashoppers in multitude, and their Camels were without number, as the sand which is by the sea side for multitude. 13. And when Gedeon was come, behold a man told a dreame vnto his neighbour, and said: Behold I dreamed a dreame, and loe, a cake of barly bread tumbled from aboue into the hoast of Midian, and came vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent fell downe. 14. And his fellow answered, and said, this is nothing else saue the sword of Gedeon the sonne of Ioash a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God deliuered Midian and all the hoast. 15. When Gedeon heard the dreame told, and the interpretation of the same, hee worshipped, and returned vnto the hoast of Israel, and said, Vp: for the Lord hath deliuered into your hand the hoast of Midian.
