Judges 7:21
Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, Gideon's army surrounds the enemy camp and shouts, causing the enemy to panic and flee. This shows how God used a small group to defeat a larger force. There is no direct speaker; it describes the actions of the Israelites and the enemy.
Explained for Children
Imagine you and your friends are playing hide-and-seek, and you're hiding around a big house. Suddenly, you all shout really loud, and the person looking gets so scared that they run away, thinking there are many more people hiding than there really are. That's what happened here!
Historical Background
The Book of Judges was likely written by various authors and compiled over time, with the final form possibly completed around the 6th century BC. This verse is part of the story of Gideon, who led the Israelites against the Midianites. The Israelites were outnumbered but won with God's help.
Living It Out Today
In a modern context, imagine a small team of employees working together to solve a problem that seemed insurmountable. By working in unity and with the right strategy, they might overcome a seemingly larger challenge, reflecting the power of unity and strategy.
