And the children
of Israel
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
:
and the LORD
delivered
them into the hand
of Midian
seven
years
.
2
And the hand
of Midian
prevailed
against
Israel
:
and
because
of the Midianites
the children
of Israel
made
them the dens
which
are
in the mountains
,
and caves
,
and strong holds
.
3
And
so
it was,
when
Israel
had sown
,
that the Midianites
came up
,
and the Amalekites
,
and the children
of the east
,
even they
came up
against
them;
4
And they encamped
against
them, and destroyed
the increase
of the earth
, till
thou
come
unto Gaza
,
and left
no
sustenance
for Israel
,
neither sheep
,
no
r ox
,
no
r ass
.
5
For they came up
with
their cattle
and their tents
, and they came as
grasshoppers
for multitude
;
for
both they and their camels
were
with
out
number:
and they entered
into the land
to destroy
it.
6
And Israel
was greatly
impoverished
because
of the Midianites
;
and the children
of Israel
cried
unto the LORD
.
7
And it
came
to pass,
when
the children
of Israel
cried
unto the LORD
because
of the Midianites
,
8
That
the LORD
sent
a
prophet
unto the children
of Israel
,
which said
unto them,
Thus
saith
the LORD
God
of Israel
,
I brought you up
from Egypt
,
and brought you forth
out of the house
of bondage
;
9
And I delivered
you out of the hand
of the Egyptians,
and out of the hand
of all
that oppressed
you, and drave them out from before you, and gave
you their land
;
10
And I said
unto you, I
am
the LORD
your God
;
fear
not the gods
of the Amorites
,
in
whose
land
ye dwell
:
but ye have not obeyed
my voice.
11
And there came
an angel
of the LORD
,
and sat
under
an oak
which
was
in Ophrah
, that
pertained
unto Joash
the Abiezrite
:
and his son
Gideon
threshed
wheat
by the winepress
,
to hide
it
from
the Midianites
.
12
And the angel
of the LORD
appeared
unto him, and said unto him, The LORD
is
with thee, thou mighty
man of valour
.
13
And Gideon
said
unto him, Oh
my Lord
, if
the LORD
be with us,
why
then is all this befallen
us?
and where
be
all his miracles
which
our fathers
told
us of, saying,
Did not
the LORD
bring us up from
Egypt
? but now
the LORD
hath forsaken
us, and delivered
us into the hands
of the Midianites
.
14
And the LORD
looked
upon him, and said,
Go
in
this
thy might
,
and thou shalt save
Israel
from the hand
of the Midianites
:
have not I sent
thee?
15
And he said
unto him, Oh
my Lord
,
wherewith
shall I save
Israel
?
behold
, my family
is
poor
in Manasseh
,
and I
am
the least
in my father's
house
.
16
And the LORD
said
unto him,
Surely
I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite
the Midianites
as one
man
.
17
And he said
unto him,
If
now
I have found
grace
in thy sight
,
then shew
me a sign
that thou talkest
with me.
18
Depart
not hence, I pray thee,
until
I come unto thee, and bring forth
my present
, and set
it
before
thee. And he said,
I will tarry
until
thou come again
.
19
And Gideon
went in
,
and made ready
a
kid
,
and unleavened cakes
of an ephah
of flour
:
the flesh
he put
in a basket
, and
he put
the broth
in a pot
,
and brought
it
out
unto him
under
the oak
,
and presented
it
.
20
And the angel
of God
said
unto him, Take
the flesh
and the unleavened cakes
, and lay
them
upon this
rock
,
and pour out
the broth
.
And he did
so
.
21
Then the angel
of the LORD
put forth
the end
of the staff
that
was
in his hand
,
and touched
the flesh
and the unleavened cakes
;
and there rose up
fire
out of the rock
,
and consumed
the flesh
and the unleavened cakes
.
Then the angel
of the LORD
departed
out of his sight
.
22
And when Gideon
perceived
that he
was
an angel
of the LORD
, Gideon
said
,
Alas
,
O Lord
GOD!
for
because
I have seen
an angel
of the LORD
face
to
face
.
23
And the LORD
said
unto him, Peace
be
unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24
Then Gideon
built
an altar
there
unto
the LORD
,
and called
it Jehovahshalom:
un
to this
day
it
is
yet in Ophrah
of the Abiezrites
.
25
And it came to pass
the same
night
,
that the LORD
said
unto him, Take
thy father's
young
bullock
,
even the second
bullock
of seven
years old
,
and throw down
the altar
of Baal
that thy father
hath, and cut down
the grove
that
is
by it:
26
And build
an altar
unto the LORD
thy God
upon the top
of this
rock
,
in the ordered place
,
and take
the second
bullock
,
and offer
a burnt sacrifice
with the wood
of the grove
which
thou shalt cut down
.
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
.
28
And when
the men
of the city
arose early
in the morning
,
behold
, the altar
of Baal
was cast down
,
and the grove
was cut down
that
was
by it, and the second
bullock
was offered
upon the altar
that was
built
.
29
And
they said
one
to another
,
Who
hath done
this
thing
? And when they inquired
and asked
,
they said
,
Gideon
the son
of Joash
hath done
this
thing
.
30
Then
the men
of the city
said
unto Joash,
Bring out
thy son
,
that he may die
:
because he hath cast down
the altar
of Baal
,
and because he hath cut down
the grove
that
was
by it.
31
And Joash
said
unto all that stood
against
him, Will ye plead for
Baal
? will ye save
him? he that will plead
for him, let him be put to death
whilst
it is yet
morning
: if he
be
a god,
let him plead
for himself,
because
one
hath cast down
his altar
.
32
Therefore on that day
he called
him Jerubbaal
,
saying
,
Let Baal
plead
against him,
because
he hath thrown down
his altar
.
33
Then
all
the Midianites
and the Amalekites
and the children
of the east
were gathered
together,
and went over
,
and pitched
in the v
all
ey
of Jezreel
.
34
But the Spirit
of the LORD
came
upon Gideon
,
and he blew
a trumpet
;
and Abiezer
was gathered
after
him.
35
And he sent
messengers
throughout
all Manasseh
;
who
also
was gathered
after
him: and he sent
messengers
unto Asher
,
and unto Zebulun
,
and unto Naphtali
;
and they came up
to meet them.
36
And Gideon
said
unto God
,
If
thou wilt
save
Israel
by mine hand
,
as thou hast
said
,
37
Behold, I will put
a fleece
of wool
in the floor
;
and
if the dew
be on the fleece
only
, and
it be
dry
upon
all
the earth
beside
, then sh
all
I know
that thou wilt save
Israel
by mine hand
,
as thou hast said
.
38
And it was
so
: for he rose up early
on the morrow
, and thrust
the fleece
together
,
and wringed
the dew
out of
the fleece
,
a bowl
full
of water
.
39
And Gideon
said
unto God
,
Let not thine anger
be hot
against me, and I will speak
but this once
:
let me prove
, I pray thee,
but this once
with the fleece
;
let it
now
be dry
only
upon the fleece
,
and upon
all
the ground
let there be dew
.
40
And God
did
so
that night
:
for it was dry
upon the fleece
only
, and there was dew
on
all
the ground
.
