Shof'tim (Jdg) 7:15-22

Shof'tim (Jdg) 7:15-22 CJB

When Gid‘on heard the dream and its interpretation, he fell on his knees in worship. Then he returned to the camp of Isra’el and said, “Get up! because ADONAI has handed Midyan’s army over to you.” He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He put in the hands of all of them shofars and empty pitchers with torches in them. Then he said to them, “Watch me, and do what I do. When I get to the edge of the camp, whatever I do, you do the same. When I and everyone with me blow the shofar, then you blow your shofars all around the whole camp, and shout, “For ADONAI and for Gid‘on!” Gid‘on and the hundred men with him arrived at the edge of the camp a little before midnight, just after they had changed the guard. They blew the shofars and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. All three companies blew the shofars, broke the pitchers and held the torches in their left hands, keeping their right hands free for the shofars they were blowing; and they shouted, “The sword for ADONAI and for Gid‘on!” Then, as every man stood still in place around the camp, the whole camp was thrown into panic, with everyone screaming and trying to escape. Gid‘on’s men blew their 300 shofars, and ADONAI caused everyone in the camp to attack his comrades; and the enemy fled beyond Beit-Sheetah near Tz’rerah, as far as the border of Avel-M’cholah, by Tabat.
