"But if you dread to go alone, let your servant Purah descend with you. "
— Judges 7:10, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:”
“But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp: ”
“But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:”
“But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with Purah your servant”
“But if thou be afraid to go alone, let Phara, thy servant, go down with thee.”
“But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;”
“But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:”
And the Lord said to Gideon: “By the three hundred men who lapped the water, I will free you, and I will deliver Midian into your hand. But let all the remainder of the multitude return to their place.”
And so, taking food and trumpets in accord with their number, he instructed all the rest of the multitude to go back to their tents. And with the three hundred men, he gave himself to the conflict. Now the camp of Midian was below, in the valley.
In the same night, the Lord said to him: “Rise up, and descend into the camp. For I have delivered them into your hand.
But if you dread to go alone, let your servant Purah descend with you.
And when you will hear what they are saying, then your hands will be strengthened, and you will descend more confidently to the camp of the enemy.” Therefore, he descended with his servant Purah into a portion of the camp, where there was a watch of armed men.
But Midian, and Amalek, and all the eastern peoples lay spread out in the valley, like a multitude of locusts. Their camels, too, were innumerable, like the sand that lies on the shore of the sea.
And when Gideon had arrived, someone told his neighbor a dream. And he related what he had seen, in this way: “I saw a dream, and it seemed to me as if bread, baked under ashes from rolled barley, descended into the camp of Midian. And whenever it arrived at a tent, it struck it, and overturned it, and utterly leveled it to the ground.”
