Judges 6:17-24
17So 1Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me 2a sign that it is You who speak with me. 18Please do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You.” And He said, “I will remain until you return.”
19Then Gideon went in and 3prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from an 4ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket 5and the broth in a pot, and brought them out to him under the 6oak and presented them. 20The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so. 21Then the angel of the Lord put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and 7fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the Lord 8vanished from his sight. 229When Gideon saw that he was the angel of the Lord, 10he said, “Alas, O Lord 11God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” 23The Lord said to him, “Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die.” 24Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and named it 12The Lord is Peace. To this day it is still 13in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
