16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put shofars into the hand of every man, and empty pitchers, and torches in the midst of the pitchers. 17 And he said to them, “You? shall look at me, and likewise you? shall do. And behold, I am coming to the edge of the camp, and as I do, so you? shall do. 18 And I will blow on the shofar, I and all who are with me, and you? shall blow on the shofars—even you?—on every side of all the camp; and you? shall say, ‘For YHWH and for Gideon.’” 19 And Gideon came, and the hundred men who were with him, to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the complete stationing of the guard. And they blew on the shofars and shattered the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew on the shofars and broke the pitchers, and they held in their left hand the torches and in their right hand the shofars for blowing, and they cried out, “A sword for YHWH, and for Gideon.” Judges 7:16-20, Berean Literal Bible.
