Judges 6:17-22

17So 1Gideon saidH559 to Him, “IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, then showH6213 me 2a signH226 that it is You who speakH1696 with me. 18PleaseH4994 do not departH4185 from hereH2088, untilH5704 I comeH935 back to You, and bringH3318 out my offeringH4503 and layH5117 it beforeH6440 You.” And He saidH559, “I will remainH3427 untilH5704 you returnH7725.”

19Then GideonH1439 wentH935 in and 3preparedH6213 a youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 and unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 from an 4ephahH374 of flourH7058; he putH7760 the meatH1320 in a basketH5536 5and the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and broughtH3318 them out to him underH8478 the 6oakH424 and presentedH5066 them. 20The angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 to him, “TakeH3947 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 and layH5117 them on thisH1975 rockH5553, and pourH8210 out the brothH4839.” And he didH6213 soH3651. 21Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 putH7971 out the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027 and touchedH5060 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; and 7fireH784 sprangH5927 up from the rockH6697 and consumedH398 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 8vanishedH1980 from his sightH5869. 229When GideonH1439 sawH7200 that he was the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, 10he saidH559, “AlasH162, O LordH136 11GodH3068! For nowH5921H3651 I have seenH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440.”
