Judges 6:20-27

20And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 to himH413, “TakeH3947 the meatH1320 andH853 the unleavened breadH4682, layH5117 them onH413 thisH1975 rockH5553, andH853 pour outH8210 the brothH4839.” And Gideon didH6213 soH3651.

21Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 extendedH7971 the tipH7097 of the staffH4938 thatH834 was in his handH3027 and touchedH5060 the meatH1320 and the unleavened breadH4682. And fireH784 flaredH5927 fromH4480 the rockH6697 and consumedH398 the meatH1320 and the unleavened breadH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 vanishedH1980 from his sightH5869.

22When GideonH1439 realizedH7200 thatH3588 itH1931 was the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, heH1439 saidH559, “Oh noH162, LordH136 GODH3069H3588H5921H3651! I have seenH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 faceH6440 toH413 faceH6440!”

23But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, “PeaceH7965 be with you. Do notH408 be afraidH3372, for you will notH3808 dieH4191.”

24So GideonH1439 builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 thereH8033 and calledH7121 it The LORDH3068 Is PeaceH7965.1 ToH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 it standsH5750 in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33.

On that veryH1931 nightH3915 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Gideon, “TakeH3947 your father’sH1 young bullH6499H7794 and a secondH8145 bullH6499 sevenH7651 years oldH8141, tear downH2040 your father’sH1 altarH4196 to BaalH1168, and cut downH3772 the Asherah poleH842 beside itH5921. 26Then buildH1129 a properH4634 altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 onH5921 the topH7218 of thisH2088 strongholdH4581. And with the woodH6086 of the Asherah poleH842 you cut downH3772, takeH3947 the secondH8145 bullH6499 and offerH5927 it as a burnt offeringH5930.”

27So GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 of his servantsH582H5650 and didH6213 asH834 the LORDH3068H1961 had told himH1696H413. But becauseH834 he was too afraidH3372 of his father’sH1 householdH1004 andH853 the menH582 of the cityH5892, he didH6213 it by nightH3915 rather than in the daytimeH3119.
