חֶ֥רֶב לַֽיהוָ֖ה וּלְגִדְעֽוֹן
sword to/for=YHWH and,for,Gideon
The soldiers are using the term sword by association to mean “army,” since they are an army that uses swords to fight. Alternate translation: [The army of Yahweh and of Gideon]
7:17-20 Surprise and deception took the place of a massive army. The war cry, the sudden blast of 300 trumpets, and the torches bursting into light created the impression of a large force.
