Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.

So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

So he took the people down to the water and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

The same night the Lord said to him, Up! go down now against their army, for I have given them into your hands.

And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

Then Gideon, hearing the story of the dream and the sense in which they took it, gave worship then he went back to the tents of Israel, and said, Up! for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hands.

And he said to them, Keep your eyes on me, and do what I do when I come to the outer line of tents, whatever I do, you are to do the same.

So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.

And the men of Israel came together from Naphtali and from Asher and all Manasseh, and went after Midian.

And they took the two chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb and they put Oreb to death at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they put to death at the place of the grape-crushing in Zeeb, and they went after Midian but the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they took across Jordan to Gideon.

And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.

God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.

And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.

Then Gideon, the son of Joash, went back from the fight:

So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

And he had the tower of Penuel broken down and the men of the town put to death.

And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

But Gideon said to them, I will not be a ruler over you, and my son will not be a ruler over you: it is the Lord who will be ruler over you.

And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.

And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.

And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.

And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.

And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this and he said that some food was to be given to her.
