And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing — The narrator notes Gideon's exhaustion (עֲיֵפִים, ayephim, weary). The elite three hundred remain his core force. The tension between fatigue and determination foreshadows the moral dangers ahead as Gideon enters Transjordanian territory.
