Judges 6:27-40

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>_.
