Judges 7:1

---

← Judges 6:40	Judges 7:1 (KJV)	Judges 7:2 →
And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.	Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.	And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
