Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets.--The E.V. here differs from most of the ancient versions (e.g., the LXX., the Chaldee, the Vulgate, &c.), which render it, "And they (the 300) took the provisions and trumpets of the people (the 9,700) in their hands." This is also the explanation of Rabbi Kimchi, Levi Ben Gerson, &c. Provisions would be scarce in the neighbourhood of so vast a host, and it would be the desire of all that the brave 300 should be well supplied. The reason for taking 300 rams' horns would soon appear; and, indeed, but for this verse we might well wonder how each of the 300 came to have a horn of his own. Their "pitchers" were probably those in which the provisions had been carried.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo Gideon sentשִׁלַּח֙ (šil·laḥ)Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outthe rest ofכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe Israelitesאִ֤ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personto their tentsלְאֹֽהָלָ֔יו (lə·’ō·hā·lāw)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 168: A tentbut keptהֶֽחֱזִ֑יק (he·ḥĕ·zîq)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2388: To fasten upon, to seize, be strong, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquerthe threeוּבִשְׁלֹשׁ־ (ū·ḇiš·lōš-)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Number - feminine singular constructStrong's 7969: Three, third, thricehundredמֵא֥וֹת (mê·’ō·wṯ)Number - feminine pluralStrong's 3967: A hundredmen,הָאִ֖ישׁ (hā·’îš)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personwho tookוַיִּקְח֣וּ (way·yiq·ḥū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3947: To takecharge ofבְּיָדָ֜ם (bə·yā·ḏām)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 3027: A handthe provisionsצֵדָה֩ (ṣê·ḏāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6720: Provision, foodand trumpetsשׁוֹפְרֹֽתֵיהֶ֗ם (šō·wp̄·rō·ṯê·hem)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 7782: A cornet, curved hornof the others.הָעָ֨ם (hā·‘ām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockAndוְאֵ֨ת (wə·’êṯ)Conjunctive waw | Direct object markerStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative casethe campוּמַחֲנֵ֣ה (ū·ma·ḥă·nêh)Conjunctive waw | Noun - common singular constructStrong's 4264: An encampment, an armyof Midianמִדְיָ֔ן (miḏ·yān)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 4080: Midian -- a son of Abraham and Keturah, also his descendants and the region where they settled layהָ֥יָה (hā·yāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bebelowמִתַּ֥חַת (mit·ta·ḥaṯ)Preposition-mStrong's 8478: The bottom, below, in lieu ofhimל֖וֹ (lōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 0: 0in the valley.בָּעֵֽמֶק׃ (bā·‘ê·meq)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6010: A valeJump to PreviousBeneath Camp Hand Horns Host Hundred Israel Midian People's Provisions Rest Retained Tent Three Trumpets Valley Victuals
