Judges Kapitel 7 1 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Judges Kapitel 7 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
2. the Lord said unto Gideon, The people . . . are too many--Although the Israelitish army mustered only thirty-two thousand (or one-sixth of the Midianitish host), the number was too great, for it was the Lord's purpose to teach Israel a memorable lesson of dependence on Him.
Judges Kapitel 7 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. Now therefore . . ., proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful . . . let him return--This proclamation was in terms of an established law
(De 20:8).
Judges Kapitel 7 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. too many--Two reductions were ordered, the last by the application of a test which was made known to Gideon alone.
Judges Kapitel 7 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. bring them down unto the water--When the wandering people in Asia, on a journey or in haste, come to water, they do not stoop down with deliberation on their knees, but only bend forward as much as is necessary to bring their hand in contact with the stream, and throw it up with rapidity, and at the same time such address, that they do not drop a particle. The Israelites, it seems, were acquainted with the practice; and those who adopted it on this occasion were selected as fit for a work that required expedition. The rest were dismissed according to the divine direction.
Judges Kapitel 7 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. the Lord said, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you--It is scarcely possible to conceive a more severe trial than the command to attack the overwhelming forces of the enemy with such a handful of followers. But Gideon's faith in the divine assurance of victory was steadfast, and it is for this he is so highly commended
(Heb 11:32).
Judges Kapitel 7 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley--Attention to the relative position of the parties is of the greatest importance to an understanding of what follows.
Judges Kapitel 7 9 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Jud 7:9-15.
HE IS ENCOURAGED BY THE DREAM AND THE INTERPRETATION OF THE BARLEY CAKE.
9, 10. Arise, get thee down unto the host . . . But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant--In ancient times it was reckoned no degradation for persons of the highest rank and character to act as spies on an enemy's camp; and so Gideon did on this occasion. But the secret errand was directed by God, who intended that he should hear something which might animate his own valor and that of his troops.
Jud 7:1-8.
GIDEON'S ARMY.
1. Jerubbaal--This had now become Gideon's honorable surname, "the enemy of Baal."
well--rather "spring of Harod," that is, "fear, trembling"; probably the same as the fountain in Jezreel
(1Sa 29:1).
It was situated not far from Gilboa, on the confines of Manasseh, and the name "Harod" was bestowed on it with evident reference to the panic which seized the majority of Gideon's troops. The host of the Midianites were on the northern side of the valley, seemingly deeper down in the descent towards the Jordan, near a little eminence.
