13

When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 13. A dream. Observation of dreams is commonly superstitious, and as such is condemned by the word of God; but in some extraordinary cases, as we here see, God is pleased by dreams to foretel what he is about to do. Challoner.—See Genesis 40. Leviticus 19:26. Deuteronomy 18:10. Worthington.—The small company of Gedeon stood in need of every sort of encouragement. Bible.
