The verb for fall
is used twice in this verse, translated first as it fell
and then as lay flat.
This verb recalls the earlier uses of it, to describe the fall of Eglon (Judges 3:25) and that of Sisera (lay,
Judges 4:22; Judges 5:27 [x3]). That same fate would now come to Midian and all the camp (Judges 7:14).1
13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
