And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 7 of Judges. When the jars are broken and the trumpets sound, God causes confusion in the Midianite camp, and the enemies attack one another. Israel pursues the fugitives, and the Ephraimites capture Oreb and Zeeb. The victory confirms the purpose of reducing the army: the outcome cannot simply be explained by numerical superiority. However, tension among the tribes anticipates further internal problems.

Also bliesen alle drei Haufen mit Posaunen und zerbrachen die Krüge. Sie hielten aber die Fackeln in ihrer linken Hand und die Posaunen in ihrer rechten Hand, daß sie bliesen und riefen: Hie Schwert des HERRN und Gideons!
Y los tres escuadrones tocaron las bocinas, y quebrando los cántaros tomaron en las manos izquierdas las teas, y en las derechas los cuernos con que tañían, y dieron grita: ¡La espada de Jehová y de Gedeón!
Las tres compañías tocaron los cuernos y rompieron los cántaros. Sostuvieron las antorchas con la mano izquierda y los cuernos con la derecha para tocarlos, y gritaron: «¡Una espada por Jehová y por Gedeón!».
Les trois corps sonnèrent de la trompette, et brisèrent les cruches; ils saisirent de la main gauche les flambeaux et de la main droite les trompettes pour sonner, et ils s'écrièrent: Epée pour l'Eternel et pour Gédéon!
Allora le tre schiere sonarono con le trombe, e spezzarono i testi, e tenevano con la man sinistra le fiaccole, e con la destra le trombe per sonare, e gridavano; La spada del Signore, e di Gedeone.
Assim tocaram as três companhias as buzinas, e quebraram os cântaros; e tinham nas suas mãos esquerdas as tochas acesas, e nas suas mãos direitas as buzinas, para tocarem, e clamaram: Espada do SENHOR, e de Gideão.
三隊的人都吹角,打破瓶子。他們左手拿著火把,右手拿著吹的角,喊叫:「耶和華和 基甸 的刀!」
