Context
6:34 The Lord’s spirit took control of Gideon . He blew a trumpet , summoning the Abiezrites to follow him.
6:35 He sent messengers throughout Manasseh and summoned them to follow him as well . He also sent messengers throughout Asher , Zebulun , and Naphtali , and they came up to meet him.
6:36 Gideon said to God , “If you really intend to use me to deliver Israel , as you promised , then give me a sign as proof.
6:37 Look , I am putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor . If there is dew only on the fleece , and the ground around it is dry , then I will be sure that you will use me to deliver Israel , as you promised .”
6:38 The Lord did as he asked. When he got up the next morning , he squeezed the fleece , and enough dew dripped from it to fill a bowl .
6:39 Gideon said to God , “Please do not get angry at me, when I ask for just one more sign. Please allow me one more test with the fleece . This time make only the fleece dry , while the ground around it is covered with dew .”
6:40 That night God did as he asked. Only the fleece was dry and the ground around it was covered with dew .
