And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 7 of Judges. Gideon divides the three hundred men into groups and gives them trumpets, jars, and torches. The strategy depends on visual and auditory deception: the jars conceal the torches while the trumpets make the army appear larger. Gideon orders them to imitate his actions and shout for the Lord and for Gideon. The structure combines precise obedience, human strategy, and divine intervention that will create chaos among the enemy.
