"So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;"
— Judges 6:3, World English Bible
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;”
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them; ”
“Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people from the east would attack them.”
“And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations, came up:”
“And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;”
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;”
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
The hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;
and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, until you come to Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor donkey.
For they came up with their livestock and their tents; they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to Yahweh.
