Judges 6:3-11

3For wheneverH1961H518 IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, the MidianitesH4080 would comeH5927 upH5927 with the AmalekitesH6002 and the 1peopleH1121 of the eastH6924 and 2marchH5927 againstH5921 them. 4So they would campH2583 againstH5921 them and 3destroyH7843 the produceH2981 of the earthH776 4as farH5704H935 as GazaH5804, and 5leaveH7604 noH3808 sustenanceH4241 in IsraelH3478, nor a sheepH7716, oxH7794, or donkeyH2543. 5For they would comeH5927 upH5927 with their livestockH4735 and their tentsH168, they would comeH935 inH935 6like locustsH697 in numberH7230, and both they and their camelsH1581 were innumerableH369H4557; and they cameH935 into the landH776 to ruinH7843 it. 6So IsraelH3478 was broughtH1809 7veryH3966 lowH1809 becauseH4480H6440 of MidianH4080, and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068.

7Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3588 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 on accountH182 of MidianH4080, 8that the LordH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH5030 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and 8he saidH559 to them, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘It was I who broughtH5927 you upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the houseH1004 of 9slaveryH5650. 9And I rescuedH5337 you from the handsH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and from the handsH3027 of allH3605 your oppressorsH3905, and I droveH1644 them outH1644 from you and gaveH5414 you their landH776, 10and I saidH559 to you, “I am the LordH3068 your GodH430; you 10shall not fearH3372 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 you liveH3427.” But you have not 11obeyedH8085H6963 Me.’”

11Then 12the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH935 and satH3427 underH8478 the 13oakH424 that was in OphrahH6084, whichH834 belonged to JoashH3060 the 14AbiezriteH33, as his sonH1121 15GideonH1439 was beatingH2251 outH2251 wheatH2406 in the wineH1660 pressH1660 in order to saveH5127 it from the MidianitesH4080.
