CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Judges 7

The LORD deliberately reduces Gideon’s army from thousands to three hundred men so Israel cannot claim that it saved itself. After overhearing a Midianite’s dream and its interpretation, Gideon worships and returns with confidence. His three hundred men surround the camp with trumpets, pitchers, and lamps; the LORD throws the enemy into confusion, and Midian flees while other Israelites join the pursuit.
