Judges 6:20-27

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 1fireH784 cameH5927 upH5927 from the rockH6697 and consumedH398 the meatH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 2vanishedH1980 from his sightH5869. 223When GideonH1439 perceivedH7200 that he was the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, 4he saidH559, “OhH162, LordH136 5GodH3068! For I have seenH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440!” 23But the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “PeaceH7965 to you, do not beH3372 afraidH3372; you shall not dieH4191.” 24Then GideonH1439 builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the LordH3068 and namedH7121 it 6The LordH3068 is PeaceH7965. To thisH2088 dayH3117 it is stillH5750 7in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33.

25Now on the sameH1931 nightH3915 the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “TakeH3947 your father’sH1 bullH6499H7794 8and a secondH8145 bullH6499 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 old, and tearH2040 downH2040 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 whichH834 belongs to your fatherH1, and cutH3772 downH3772 the 910AsherahH842 that is besideH5921 it; 26and buildH1129 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 on the topH7218 of thisH2088 strongholdH4581 in an orderlyH4634 wayH4634, and takeH3947 a secondH8145 bullH6499 and offerH5927 a burntH5930 offeringH5930 with the woodH6086 of the AsherahH842 whichH834 you shall cutH3772 downH3772.” 27Then GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 menH376 from his servantsH5650 and didH6213 as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to him; and becauseH834 he wasH3372 tooH4480 afraidH3372 of his father’sH1 householdH1004 and the menH376 of the cityH5892 to doH6213 it by dayH3119, he didH6213 it by nightH3915.
