“And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.”
When Gideon arrived, there was a man telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, 'I had a dream, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and it struck the tent, and it fell flat, and turned it upside down.' — The overheard dream describes a 'cake of barley bread' destroying a Midianite tent. The barley bread symbolism invokes Israel's simple agricultural produce overcoming the sophisticated nomadic raiders.
