Judges 6:11-16

11Then the angelH43971 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 and sat downH3427 underH8478 the oakH4242 in OphrahH6084 thatH834 belonged to JoashH3101 the AbiezriteH33, where his sonH1121 GideonH1439 was threshingH2251 wheatH2406 in a winepressH1660 to hide itH5127 fromH6440 the MidianitesH4080. 12And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 toH413 Gideon and saidH559H413, “The LORDH3068 is with youH5973, O mighty manH1368 of valorH2428.”

13“PleaseH994, my LordH113,” GideonH1439 repliedH559, “if the LORDH3068 isH3426 with usH5973, whyH4100 has allH3605 thisH2063 happened to usH4672? And whereH346 are allH3605 His wondersH6381 of whichH834 our fathersH1 toldH5608 us, sayingH559, ‘Has notH3808 the LORDH3068 brought us upH5927 out of EgyptH4714?’ But nowH6258 the LORDH3068 has forsaken usH5203 and delivered usH5414 into the handH3709 of MidianH4080.”

14The LORDH30683 turnedH6437 to himH413 and saidH559, “GoH1980 in the strength you haveH3581H2088 and saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of MidianH4080. Am I notH3808 sending youH7971?”

15“PleaseH994, my LordH136,” Gideon repliedH559, “howH4100 can I saveH3467 IsraelH3478? IndeedH2009, my clanH505 is the weakestH1800 in ManassehH4519, and IH595 am the youngestH6810 in my father’sH1 houseH1004.”

16“SurelyH3588 I will beH1961 with youH5973,” the LORDH3068 repliedH559, “and you will strike downH5221 all the MidianitesH4080 as oneH259 manH376.”
