Judges 6:20-27

20And the AngelH4397 of 1GodH430 saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakes, and lay them upon this rockH5553, and pourH8210 out the brothH4839. And he did soH3651.

21And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah put forthH7971 the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027, and touchedH5060 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakes; and there rose up fireH784 out of the rockH6697, and consumedH398 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakes. And the AngelH4397 of Jehovah departed out of his sight.

22And GideonH1439 perceived that he was an angelH4397 of Jehovah; and GideonH1439 saidH559, AlasH162, Lord Jehovah! for because I have seenH7200 an angelH4397 of Jehovah faceH6440 to faceH6440...

23And Jehovah saidH559 to him, PeaceH7965 be unto thee: fearH3372 not; thou shalt not dieH4191.

24And GideonH1439 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 to Jehovah, and calledH7121 it Jehovah-shalom. To this dayH3117 it is yetH5750 in OphrahH6084 of the Abi-ezrites.

25And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that Jehovah saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 the youngH6499 bullock, which thy fatherH1 hath, even the secondH8145 bullock of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 old, and throw down the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 that thy fatherH1 hath, and cutH3772 down the AsherahH842 that is by it;

26and buildH1129 an altarH4196 to Jehovah thy 2GodH430 upon the topH7218 of this strong placeH2088 in the ordered manner, and takeH3947 the secondH8145 bullock, and offerH5927 up a burnt-offering with the woodH6086 of the AsherahH842 that thou shalt cutH3772 down.

27And GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 menH376 of his servantsH5650, and did as Jehovah had saidH1696 to him. And it came to pass, because he fearedH3372 his father's houseH1004, and the menH376 of the cityH5892, if he did it by dayH3119, that he did it by nightH3915.
