Context of Judges 6:10

8the Lord sent a prophet to them. He said, “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: I brought you out of Egypt. I took you away from slavery. 9I rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and from the power of those who oppressed you. I forced people out of your way. I gave you their land. I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God. You must never fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you will live.’ But you have not obeyed me.” 11The Messenger of the Lord came and sat under the oak tree in Ophrah that belonged to Joash from Abiezer’s family. Joash’s son Gideon was beating out wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites. 12The Messenger of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said, “The Lord is with you, brave man.”
