Judges 6:18-40

6:18

Depart
<04185> (8799)

not hence, I pray thee, until I come
<0935> (8800)

unto thee, and bring forth
<03318> (8689)

my present
<04503>_,

and set
<03240> (8689)

[it] before
<06440>

thee. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will tarry
<03427> (8799)

until thou come again
<07725> (8800)_.

{present: or, meat offering}

6:19

And Gideon
<01439>

went in
<0935> (8804)_,

and made ready
<06213> (8799)

a kid
<05795> <01423>_,

and unleavened cakes
<04682>

of an ephah
<0374>

of flour
<07058>_:

the flesh
<01320>

he put
<07760> (8804)

in a basket
<05536>_,

and he put
<07760> (8804)

the broth
<04839>

in a pot
<06517>_,

and brought [it] out
<03318> (8686)

unto him under the oak
<0424>_,

and presented
<05066> (8686)

[it]. {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}

6:20

And the angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_,

and lay
<03240> (8685)

[them] upon this
<01975>

rock
<05553>_,

and pour out
<08210> (8798)

the broth
<04839>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

so.

6:21

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

the end
<07097>

of the staff
<04938>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_;

and there rose up
<05927> (8799)

fire
<0784>

out of the rock
<06697>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_.

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

departed
<01980> (8804)

out of his sight
<05869>_.

6:22

And when Gideon
<01439>

perceived
<07200> (8799)

that he [was] an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

for because
<03651>

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

an angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_.

6:23

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Peace
<07965>

[be] unto thee; fear
<03372> (8799)

not: thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

6:24

Then Gideon
<01439>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

there unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

it Jehovahshalom
<03073>_:

unto this day
<03117>

it [is] yet in Ophrah
<06084>

of the Abiezrites
<033>_.

{Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}

6:25

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

thy father's
<01>

young
<06499>

bullock
<07794>_,

even the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>

of seven
<07651>

years old
<08141>_,

and throw down
<02040> (8804)

the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>

that thy father
<01>

hath, and cut down
<03772> (8799)

the grove
<0842>

that [is] by it: {even: or, and}

6:26

And build
<01129> (8804)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

upon the top
<07218>

of this rock
<04581>_,

in the ordered place
<04634>_,

and take
<03947> (8804)

the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>_,

and offer
<05927> (8689)

a burnt sacrifice
<05930>

with the wood
<06086>

of the grove
<0842>

which thou shalt cut down
<03772> (8799)_.

{rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered...: or, in an orderly manner}

6:27

Then Gideon
<01439>

took
<03947> (8799)

ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

of his servants
<05650>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)

unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared
<03372> (8804)

his father's
<01>

household
<01004>_,

and the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_,

that he could not do
<06213> (8800)

[it] by day
<03119>_,

that he did
<06213> (8799)

[it] by night
<03915>_.

6:28

And when the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>

was cast down
<05422> (8795)_,

and the grove
<0842>

was cut down
<03772> (8795)

that [was] by it, and the second
<08145>

bullock
<06499>

was offered
<05927> (8717)

upon the altar
<04196>

[that was] built
<01129> (8803)_.

6:29

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

Who hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_?

And when they enquired
<01875> (8799)

and asked
<01245> (8762)_,

they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

6:30

Then the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joash
<03101>_,

Bring out
<03318> (8685)

thy son
<01121>_,

that he may die
<04191> (8799)_:

because he hath cast down
<05422> (8804)

the altar
<04196>

of Baal
<01168>_,

and because he hath cut down
<03772> (8804)

the grove
<0842>

that [was] by it.

6:31

And Joash
<03101>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all that stood
<05975> (8804)

against him, Will ye plead
<07378> (8799)

for Baal
<01168>_?

will ye save
<03467> (8686)

him? he that will plead
<07378> (8799)

for him, let him be put to death
<04191> (8714)

whilst [it is yet] morning
<01242>_:

if he [be] a god
<0430>_,

let him plead
<07378> (8799)

for himself, because [one] hath cast down
<05422> (8804)

his altar
<04196>_.

6:32

Therefore on that day
<03117>

he called
<07121> (8799)

him Jerubbaal
<03378>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let Baal
<01168>

plead
<07378> (8799)

against him, because he hath thrown down
<05422> (8804)

his altar
<04196>_.

{Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}

6:33

Then all the Midianites
<04080>

and the Amalekites
<06002>

and the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>

were gathered
<0622> (8738)

together
<03162>_,

and went over
<05674> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the valley
<06010>

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

6:34

But the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<03847> (8804)

upon Gideon
<01439>_,

and he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_;

and Abiezer
<044>

was gathered
<02199> (8735)

after
<0310>

him. {came...: Heb. clothed} {gathered: Heb. called}

6:35

And he sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

throughout all Manasseh
<04519>_;

who also was gathered
<02199> (8735)

after
<0310>

him: and he sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

unto Asher
<0836>_,

and unto Zebulun
<02074>_,

and unto Naphtali
<05321>_;

and they came up
<05927> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them. {gathered: Heb. called}

6:36

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

If thou wilt
<03426>

save
<03467> (8688)

Israel
<03478>

by mine hand
<03027>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

6:37

Behold, I will put
<03322> (8688)

a fleece
<01492>

of wool
<06785>

in the floor
<01637>_;

[and] if the dew
<02919>

be on the fleece
<01492>

only, and [it be] dry
<02721>

upon all the earth
<0776>

[beside], then shall I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

by mine hand
<03027>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.

6:38

And it was so: for he rose up early
<07925> (8686)

on the morrow
<04283>_,

and thrust
<02115> (0)

the fleece
<01492>

together
<02115> (8799)_,

and wringed
<04680> (8799)

the dew
<02919>

out of the fleece
<01492>_,

a bowl
<05602>

full
<04393>

of water
<04325>_.

6:39

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

Let not thine anger
<0639>

be hot
<02734> (8799)

against me, and I will speak
<01696> (8762)

but this once
<06471>_:

let me prove
<05254> (8762)_,

I pray thee, but this once
<06471>

with the fleece
<01492>_;

let it now be dry
<02721>

only upon the fleece
<01492>_,

and upon all the ground
<0776>

let there be dew
<02919>_.

6:40

And God
<0430>

did
<06213> (8799)

so that night
<03915>_:

for it was dry
<02721>

upon the fleece
<01492>

only, and there was dew
<02919>

on all the ground
<0776>_.
