That night
The phrase "that night" indicates a specific time when God chose to communicate with Gideon. In the Hebrew context, night often symbolizes a time of vulnerability and uncertainty. Yet, it is also a time when God frequently reveals His plans, as seen in other biblical narratives. This highlights God's sovereignty and His ability to bring clarity and direction even in the darkest times.

the LORD said
"The LORD" here is translated from the Hebrew "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. When "the LORD said," it signifies divine communication, underscoring the personal relationship between God and His chosen leaders. This phrase assures us that God is actively involved in guiding His people, speaking directly to those He calls for His purposes.

to Gideon
Gideon, whose name means "hewer" or "one who cuts down," was chosen by God to deliver Israel from the Midianites. His account is one of transformation from fear to faith, illustrating how God equips the called rather than calling the equipped. Gideon's journey is a testament to God's grace and empowerment, reminding believers that God can use anyone for His glory.

Get up
The command "Get up" is a call to action, urging Gideon to rise from a place of rest or inactivity. In the Hebrew context, this phrase often signifies readiness and obedience. It is a reminder that faith requires action and that God's promises often necessitate our participation. This call to "get up" is an invitation to trust in God's plan and move forward with confidence.

and go down
"Go down" indicates a movement towards the enemy camp, symbolizing a step of faith into the unknown. In biblical terms, descending often represents humility and reliance on God's strength rather than one's own. This directive challenges believers to step out of their comfort zones, trusting that God goes before them in every battle.

against the camp
The "camp" refers to the encampment of the Midianites, the oppressors of Israel. This phrase sets the stage for the impending confrontation, highlighting the reality of spiritual warfare. It serves as a reminder that believers are often called to stand against formidable challenges, relying on God's power to overcome.

for I have delivered it into your hand
This declaration of victory, "I have delivered it into your hand," is a profound statement of God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The Hebrew verb used here implies a completed action, emphasizing that the victory is assured by God's decree. It reassures believers that God's promises are certain, and His plans are already accomplished in the spiritual realm, even before they manifest in the physical world. This phrase encourages trust in God's timing and His ultimate control over all circumstances.

(9) I have delivered it into thine hand.--Comp. Judges 4:14.

Verse 9. - Get thee down, etc., i.e. attack the camp at once with thy 300 men. But if thou art afraid to do so, go down first alone with Phurah thy servant, and hear what they are saying in the camp.
