| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Maka serta Gideon datanglah hampir, bahwasanya adalah seorang orang tengah menceriterakan mimpinya kepada kawannya, katanya: Bahwasanya aku telah bermimpi, heran, maka adalah sebuah roti syeir terguling-guling ke tengah balatentara Midian, lalu sampai ke kemah besar, maka ditempuhnya akan dia sampai robohlah, dan dibongkar balikkannya akan dia, sehingga kemah itupun terpelantingan adanya. |
