Then all the Midyanim and the `Amaleki and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Yizre`el.
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
The children of Yosef said, The hill country is not enough for us: and all the Kena`anim who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beit-Shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Yizre`el.
that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Tzaretan; and those that went down toward the sea of the `Aravah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Yericho.
Then Yerubba`al, who is Gid`on, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Charod: and the camp of Midyan was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Gid`on sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Efrayim, saying, Come down against Midyan, and take before them the waters, as far as Beit-Barah, even the Yarden. So all the men of Efrayim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beit-Barah, even the Yarden.
So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Yisra'el every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midyan was beneath him in the valley.
