Judges 7:11-13
Amplified Bible
11 and you will hear what they say; and afterward [a]you will have the courage to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the [b]outposts of the army that was in the camp. 12 Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying [camped] in the valley, as countless as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore. 13 When Gideon arrived, [c]there was a man telling a dream to his friend. And he said, “Listen carefully, I had a dream: there was a loaf of [d]barley bread tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.”

New International Version
11 and listen to what they are saying. Afterward, you will be encouraged to attack the camp.” So he and Purah his servant went down to the outposts of the camp. 12 The Midianites, the Amalekites(A) and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts.(B) Their camels(C) could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.(D)
13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a dream,” he was saying. “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed.”
