Judges 6:3-11

3For it was whenH518 IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 would comeH5927 up with the AmalekitesH6002 and the sonsH1121 of the eastH6924 and 1goH5927 againstH5921 them. 4So they would campH2583 againstH5921 them and 2destroyH7843 the produceH2981 of the earthH776 3as farH5704H935 as GazaH5804, and 4leaveH7604 noH3808 sustenanceH4241 in IsraelH3478 as well as no sheepH7716, oxH7794, or donkeyH2543. 5For they would comeH5927 up with their livestockH4735 and their tentsH168, they would comeH5927 in 5like locustsH697 for numberH7230, both they and their camelsH1581 were innumerableH369H4557; and they cameH935 into the landH776 to devastateH7843 it. 6So IsraelH3478 was broughtH1809 6veryH3966 lowH1809 becauseH4480H6440 of MidianH4080, and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 to the LordH3068.

7Now it cameH1961 about whenH3588 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 to the LordH3068 on accountH182 of MidianH4080, 8that the LordH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH5030 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and 7he saidH559 to them, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘It was I who broughtH5927 you up from EgyptH4714 and broughtH3318 you out from the houseH1004 of 8slaveryH5650. 9I deliveredH5337 you from the handsH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714 and from the handsH3027 of allH3605 your oppressorsH3905, and dispossessedH1644 them beforeH4480H6440 you and gaveH5414 you their landH776, 10and I saidH559 to you, “I am the LordH3068 your GodH430; you 9shall not fearH3372 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 you liveH3427. But you have not 10obeyedH8085H6963 Me.”’”

11Then 11the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH935 and satH3427 underH8478 the 12oakH424 that was in OphrahH6084, whichH834 belonged to JoashH3060 the 13AbiezriteH33 as his sonH1121 14GideonH1439 was beatingH2251 out wheatH2406 in the wineH1660 pressH1660 in order to saveH5127 it from the MidianitesH4080.
