7. Then Adonai said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will deliver you and give the Midianites into your hand. So let all the other people go, every man to his place.”
8. So the 300 took provisions and their shofarot in their hands. He sent all the other men of Israel each to his tent, but he kept the 300 men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
9. It came to pass the same night that Adonai said to him, “Arise, get down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand.
10. But if you are afraid to go down, first go down to the camp with your attendant Purah.
11. Then you will hear what they are saying, and after that your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went down with his attendant Purah to an outpost of the army that was in camp.
