1
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] did [6213] evil [7451] in the sight [5869] of the LORD: [3068] and the LORD [3068] delivered [5414] them into the hand [3027] of Midian [4080] seven [7651] years. [8141]
2
And the hand [3027] of Midian [4080] prevailed [5810] against Israel: [3478] [and] because [6440] of the Midianites [4080] the children [1121] of Israel [3478] made [6213] them the dens [4492] which [are] in the mountains, [2022] and caves, [4631] and strong holds. [4679]
3
And [so] it was, when Israel [3478] had sown, [2232] that the Midianites [4080] came up, [5927] and the Amalekites, [6002] and the children [1121] of the east, [6924] even they came up [5927] against them;
4
And they encamped [2583] against them, and destroyed [7843] the increase [2981] of the earth, [0776] till thou come [0935] unto Gaza, [5804] and left [7604] no sustenance [4241] for Israel, [3478] neither sheep, [7716] nor ox, [7794] nor ass. [2543]
5
For they came up [5927] with their cattle [4735] and their tents, [0168] and they came [0935] as [1767] grasshoppers [0697] for multitude; [7230] [for] both they and their camels [1581] were without number: [4557] and they entered [0935] into the land [0776] to destroy [7843] it.
6
And Israel [3478] was greatly [3966] impoverished [1809] because [6440] of the Midianites; [4080] and the children [1121] of Israel [3478] cried [2199] unto the LORD. [3068]
7
And it came to pass, when the children [1121] of Israel [3478] cried [2199] unto the LORD [3068] because [0182] of the Midianites, [4080]
8
That the LORD [3068] sent [7971] a prophet [0376] [5030] unto the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] which said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] I brought you up [5927] from Egypt, [4714] and brought you forth [3318] out of the house [1004] of bondage; [5650]
9
And I delivered [5337] you out of the hand [3027] of the Egyptians, [4714] and out of the hand [3027] of all that oppressed [3905] you, and drave them out [1644] from before [6440] you, and gave [5414] you their land; [0776]
10
And I said [0559] unto you, I [am] the LORD [3068] your God; [0430] fear [3372] not the gods [0430] of the Amorites, [0567] in whose land [0776] ye dwell: [3427] but ye have not obeyed [8085] my voice. [6963]
11
And there came [0935] an angel [4397] of the LORD, [3068] and sat [3427] under an oak [0424] which [was] in Ophrah, [6084] that [pertained] unto Joash [3101] the Abiezrite: [0033] and his son [1121] Gideon [1439] threshed [2251] wheat [2406] by the winepress, [1660] to hide [5127] [it] from [6440] the Midianites. [4080]
12
And the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] appeared [7200] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, The LORD [3068] [is] with thee, thou mighty [1368] man of valour. [2428]
13
And Gideon [1439] said [0559] unto him, Oh [0994] my Lord, [0113] if the LORD [3068] be [3426] with us, why then is all this befallen [4672] us? and where [be] all his miracles [6381] which our fathers [0001] told [5608] us of, saying, [0559] Did not the LORD [3068] bring us up [5927] from Egypt? [4714] but now the LORD [3068] hath forsaken [5203] us, and delivered [5414] us into the hands [3709] of the Midianites. [4080]
14
And the LORD [3068] looked [6437] upon him, and said, [0559] Go [3212] in this thy might, [3581] and thou shalt save [3467] Israel [3478] from the hand [3709] of the Midianites: [4080] have not I sent [7971] thee?
15
And he said [0559] unto him, Oh [0994] my Lord, [0136] wherewith [4100] shall I save [3467] Israel? [3478] behold, my family [0504][0505] [is] poor [1800] in Manasseh, [4519] and I [am] the least [6810] in my father's [0001] house. [1004]
16
And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite [5221] the Midianites [4080] as one [0259] man. [0376]
17
And he said [0559] unto him, If now I have found [4672] grace [2580] in thy sight, [5869] then shew [6213] me a sign [0226] that thou talkest [1696] with me.
18
Depart [4185] not hence, I pray thee, until I come [0935] unto thee, and bring forth [3318] my present, [4503] and set [3240] [it] before [6440] thee. And he said, [0559] I will tarry [3427] until thou come again. [7725]
19
And Gideon [1439] went in, [0935] and made ready [6213] a kid, [5795] [1423] and unleavened cakes [4682] of an ephah [0374] of flour: [7058] the flesh [1320] he put [7760] in a basket, [5536] and he put [7760] the broth [4839] in a pot, [6517] and brought [it] out [3318] unto him under the oak, [0424] and presented [5066] [it].
20
And the angel [4397] of God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Take [3947] the flesh [1320] and the unleavened cakes, [4682] and lay [3240] [them] upon this [1975] rock, [5553] and pour out [8210] the broth. [4839] And he did [6213] so.
21
Then the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] put forth [7971] the end [7097] of the staff [4938] that [was] in his hand, [3027] and touched [5060] the flesh [1320] and the unleavened cakes; [4682] and there rose up [5927] fire [0784] out of the rock, [6697] and consumed [0398] the flesh [1320] and the unleavened cakes. [4682] Then the angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] departed [1980] out of his sight. [5869]
22
And when Gideon [1439] perceived [7200] that he [was] an angel [4397] of the LORD, [3068] Gideon [1439] said, [0559] Alas, [0162] O Lord [0136] GOD! [3069] for because [3651] I have seen [7200] an angel [4397] of the LORD [3068] face [6440] to face. [6440]
23
And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto him, Peace [7965] [be] unto thee; fear [3372] not: thou shalt not die. [4191]
24
Then Gideon [1439] built [1129] an altar [4196] there unto the LORD, [3068] and called [7121] it Jehovahshalom: [3068] [7965][3073] unto this day [3117] it [is] yet in Ophrah [6084] of the Abiezrites. [0033]
25
And it came to pass the same night, [3915] that the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto him, Take [3947] thy father's [0001] young [6499] bullock, [7794] even the second [8145] bullock [6499] of seven [7651] years [8141] old, and throw down [2040] the altar [4196] of Baal [1168] that thy father [0001] hath, and cut down [3772] the grove [0842] that [is] by it:
26
And build [1129] an altar [4196] unto the LORD [3068] thy God [0430] upon the top [7218] of this rock, [4581] in the ordered place, [4634] and take [3947] the second [8145] bullock, [6499] and offer [5927] a burnt sacrifice [5930] with the wood [6086] of the grove [0842] which thou shalt cut down. [3772]
27
Then Gideon [1439] took [3947] ten [6235] men [0582] of his servants, [5650] and did [6213] as the LORD [3068] had said [1696] unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared [3372] his father's [0001] household, [1004] and the men [0582] of the city, [5892] that he could not do [6213] [it] by day, [3119] that he did [6213] [it] by night. [3915]
28
And when the men [0582] of the city [5892] arose early [7925] in the morning, [1242] behold, the altar [4196] of Baal [1168] was cast down, [5422] and the grove [0842] was cut down [3772] that [was] by it, and the second [8145] bullock [6499] was offered [5927] upon the altar [4196] [that was] built. [1129]
29
And they said [0559] one [0376] to another, [7453] Who hath done [6213] this thing? [1697] And when they enquired [1875] and asked, [1245] they said, [0559] Gideon [1439] the son [1121] of Joash [3101] hath done [6213] this thing. [1697]
30
Then the men [0582] of the city [5892] said [0559] unto Joash, [3101] Bring out [3318] thy son, [1121] that he may die: [4191] because he hath cast down [5422] the altar [4196] of Baal, [1168] and because he hath cut down [3772] the grove [0842] that [was] by it.
31
And Joash [3101] said [0559] unto all that stood [5975] against him, Will ye plead [7378] for Baal? [1168] will ye save [3467] him? he that will plead [7378] for him, let him be put to death [4191] whilst [it is yet] morning: [1242] if he [be] a god, [0430] let him plead [7378] for himself, because [one] hath cast down [5422] his altar. [4196]
32
Therefore on that day [3117] he called [7121] him Jerubbaal, [3378] saying, [0559] Let Baal [1168] plead [7378] against him, because he hath thrown down [5422] his altar. [4196]
33
Then all the Midianites [4080] and the Amalekites [6002] and the children [1121] of the east [6924] were gathered [0622] together, [3162] and went over, [5674] and pitched [2583] in the valley [6010] of Jezreel. [3157]
34
But the Spirit [7307] of the LORD [3068] came upon [3847] Gideon, [1439] and he blew [8628] a trumpet; [7782] and Abiezer [0044] was gathered [2199] after [0310] him.
35
And he sent [7971] messengers [4397] throughout all Manasseh; [4519] who also was gathered [2199] after [0310] him: and he sent [7971] messengers [4397] unto Asher, [0836] and unto Zebulun, [2074] and unto Naphtali; [5321] and they came up [5927] to meet [7125] them.
36
And Gideon [1439] said [0559] unto God, [0430] If thou wilt [3426] save [3467] Israel [3478] by mine hand, [3027] as thou hast said, [1696]
37
Behold, I will put [3322] a fleece [1492] of wool [6785] in the floor; [1637] [and] if the dew [2919] be on the fleece [1492] only, and [it be] dry [2721] upon all the earth [0776] [beside], then shall I know [3045] that thou wilt save [3467] Israel [3478] by mine hand, [3027] as thou hast said. [1696]
38
And it was so: for he rose up early [7925] on the morrow, [4283] and thrust the fleece [1492] together, [2115] and wringed [4680] the dew [2919] out of the fleece, [1492] a bowl [5602] full [4393] of water. [4325]
39
And Gideon [1439] said [0559] unto God, [0430] Let not thine anger [0639] be hot [2734] against me, and I will speak [1696] but this once: [6471] let me prove, [5254] I pray thee, but this once [6471] with the fleece; [1492] let it now be dry [2721] only upon the fleece, [1492] and upon all the ground [0776] let there be dew. [2919]
40
And God [0430] did [6213] so that night: [3915] for it was dry [2721] upon the fleece [1492] only, and there was dew [2919] on all the ground. [0776]
