14 Son camarade répondit, et dit: Ce n’est pas autre chose que l’épée de Gédéon, fils de Joas, homme d’Israël; Dieu a livré entre ses mains Madian et tout le camp.

15 Lorsque Gédéon eut entendu le récit du songe et son explication, il se prosterna, revint au camp d’Israël, et dit: Levez-vous, car l’Éternel a livré entre vos mains le camp de Madian.

16 Il divisa en trois corps les trois cents hommes, et il leur remit à tous des trompettes et des cruches vides, avec des flambeaux dans les cruches.

17 Il leur dit: Vous me regarderez et vous ferez comme moi. Dès que j’aborderai le camp, vous ferez ce que je ferai;

18 et quand je sonnerai de la trompette, moi et tous ceux qui seront avec moi, vous sonnerez aussi de la trompette tout autour du camp, et vous direz: Pour l’Éternel et pour Gédéon!
