1 And the men of Ephraim say unto him, 'What 'is' this thing thou hast done to us -- not to call for us when thou didst go to fight with Midian?' and they strive with him severely;
2 and he saith unto them, 'What have I done now like you? are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the harvest of Abi-Ezer?
3 Into your hand hath God given the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what have I been able to do like you?' Then their temper desisted from off him in his speaking this thing.
4 And Gideon cometh in unto the Jordan, passing over, he and the three hundred men who 'are' with him -- wearied, and pursuing,
5 and he saith to the men of Succoth, 'Give, I pray you, cakes of bread to the people who 'are' at my feet, for they 'are' wearied, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna kings of Midian.'
