Judges 6:11-22

11Then 1the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH935 and satH3427 underH8478 the 2oakH424 that was in OphrahH6084, whichH834 belonged to JoashH3060 the 3AbiezriteH33, as his sonH1121 4GideonH1439 was beatingH2251 outH2251 wheatH2406 in the wineH1660 pressH1660 in order to saveH5127 it from the MidianitesH4080. 12And the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to him and saidH559 to him, “The LordH3068 is with you, valiantH2428 warriorH1368.” 13Then GideonH1439 saidH559 to him, “OH994 my lordH113, if the LordH3068 is with us, whyH4100 then has allH3605 thisH2088 happenedH4672 toH4672 us? And whereH346 are allH3605 His miraclesH6381 whichH834 our fathersH1 toldH5608 us about, sayingH559, ‘Did the LordH3068 not bringH5927 us upH5927 from EgyptH4714?’ But 5nowH6258 the LordH3068 has abandonedH5203 us and handedH5414H3709 us overH5414 to MidianH4080.” 14And the LordH3068 6lookedH6437 at him and saidH559, “7GoH1980 in thisH2088 strengthH3581 of yours and saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of MidianH4080. Have I not sentH7971 you?” 158But he saidH559 to Him, “OH994 LordH136, 9howH4100 am I to saveH3467 IsraelH3478? BeholdH2009, my familyH505 is the leastH1800 in 10ManassehH4519, and I am the youngestH6810 in my father’sH1 houseH1004.” 1611Yet the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “I will certainlyH3588 be with you, and you will 12defeatH5221 MidianH4080 as oneH259 manH376.” 17So 13Gideon saidH559 to Him, “IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, then performH6213 for me 14a signH226 that it is You speakingH1696 with me. 18PleaseH4994 do not departH4185 from hereH2088 untilH5704 I comeH935 back to You, and bringH3318 outH3318 my offeringH4503 and layH5117 it beforeH6440 You.” And He saidH559, “I will remainH3427 untilH5704 you returnH7725.”

19Then GideonH1439 wentH935 inH935 and 15preparedH6213 a youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 and unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 from an 16ephahH374 of flourH7058; he putH7760 the meatH1320 in a basketH5536 17and the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and broughtH3318 them outH3318 to him underH8478 the 18oakH424 and presentedH5066 them. 20And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 to him, “TakeH3947 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 and layH5117 them on thisH1975 rockH5553, and pourH8210 outH8210 the brothH4839.” And he didH6213 soH3651. 21Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 putH7971 outH7971 the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027 and touchedH5060 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; and 19fireH784 cameH5927 upH5927 from the rockH6697 and consumedH398 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 20vanishedH1980 from his sightH5869. 2221When GideonH1439 perceivedH7200 that he was the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, 22he saidH559, “OhH162, LordH136 23GodH3068! For I have seenH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440!”
