7. And they saw the strength of the camp of the Gentiles, and the men in armor, and the horsemen surrounding them, and that these were trained to fight.

8. And Judas said to the men who were with him: "Do not be afraid of their multitude, and do not dread their attack.

9. Remember in what way salvation came to our fathers in the Red Sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with a great army.

10. And now, let us cry out to heaven, and the Lord will have mercy on us, and he will remember the covenant of our fathers, and he will crush this army before our face this day.

11. And all nations shall know that there is One who redeems and frees Israel."

12. And the foreigners lifted up their eyes, and they saw them coming against them.

13. And they went out of the camp into battle, and those who were with Judas sounded the trumpet.

14. And they came together. And the Gentiles were crushed, and they fled into the plains.
