and=spirit YHWH took_possession_of DOM Gidˊōn

The author is speaking as if the Spirit of Yahweh literally wore Gideon as if he had been a garment. He means that the Spirit of Yahweh gave Gideon strength and guidance, as if Gideon had the Spirit right inside himself doing that. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Then the Spirit of Yahweh filled Gideon” or “Then the Spirit of Yahweh made Gideon strong and confident”
