Judges 6:33-40

33Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the eastH6924 assembled themselves togetherH3162; and they passedH5674 over, and encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. 34But the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah came upon GideonH1439; and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782; and AbiezerH44 was gathered togetherH2199 after him. 35And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all ManassehH4519; and they alsoH1571 were gathered togetherH2199 after him: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto AsherH836, and unto ZebulunH2074, and unto NaphtaliH5321; and they cameH5927 up to meet them.

36And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, If thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by my handH3027, as thou hast spokenH1696, 37behold, I will put a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 on the threshing-floor; if there beH1961 dewH2919 on the fleeceH1492 onlyH905, and it beH1961 dry upon all the groundH776, then shall I knowH3045 that thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by my handH3027, as thou hast spokenH1696. 38And it wasH1961 soH3651; for he roseH7925 up earlyH7925 on the morrow, and pressed the fleeceH1492 together, and wrung the dewH2919 out of the fleeceH1492, a bowlful of waterH4325. 39And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, Let not thine angerH639 beH1961 kindled against me, and I will speakH1696 but this once: let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleeceH1492; let it now beH1961 dry onlyH389 upon the fleeceH1492, and upon all the groundH776 let there beH1961 dewH2919. 40And GodH430 did soH3651 that nightH3915: for it wasH1961 dry upon the fleeceH1492 onlyH905, and there wasH1961 dewH2919 on all the groundH776.
