9 And that night the Lord said to him, Arise, and go down through the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.
10 But if thou art afraid to go down; go thou, and thy servant Phara, to the edge of the camp,
11 and hear what they will say, and afterwards thy hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp. So he and his servant Phara went down to a company of fifty, who were in the camp.
