In aller Frühe führte Gideon, den man auch Jerubbaal nannte, sein Heer zur Quelle Harod. Dort schlugen sie ihr Lager auf.
Nördlich von ihnen im Tal lagerten die Midianiter am Fuß des Hügels More.
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
