Judges 6:27

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that he did [it] by night.

Then Gideon {H1439} took {H3947} ten {H6235} men {H582} of his servants {H5650}, and did {H6213} as the LORD {H3068} had said {H1696} unto him: and so it was, because he feared {H3372} his father's {H1} household {H1004}, and the men {H582} of the city {H5892}, that he could not do {H6213} it by day {H3119}, that he did {H6213} it by night {H3915}.

Gid'on took ten of his servants and did what ADONAI had told him to do. He didn't do it by day, because he was afraid of the men in his father's household and those from the city, so he did it at night.

So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the daytime.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
