6:16 The
Lord said to him, “Ah, but
I will be with you! You will strike down the whole Midianite army.”
Judges 6:21-24
6:21 The
Lord’s messenger touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of his staff.
Fire flared up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread. The
Lord’s messenger then disappeared.
6:22 When Gideon realized that it was the Lord’s messenger, he said, “Oh no! Master, Lord! I have seen the Lord’s messenger face to face!”
6:23 The Lord said to him, “You are safe! Do not be afraid! You are not going to die!”
6:24 Gideon built an altar for the Lord there, and named it “The Lord is on friendly terms with me.” To this day it is still there in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
