Judges 6:7-16

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 1he 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 2slaveryH5650. 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 3shall not fearH3372 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 you liveH3427.” But you have not 4obeyedH8085H6963 Me.’”

11Then 5the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH935 and satH3427 underH8478 the 6oakH424 that was in OphrahH6084, whichH834 belonged to JoashH3060 the 7AbiezriteH33, as his sonH1121 8GideonH1439 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 9nowH6258 the LordH3068 has abandonedH5203 us and handedH5414H3709 us overH5414 to MidianH4080.” 14And the LordH3068 10lookedH6437 at him and saidH559, “11GoH1980 in thisH2088 strengthH3581 of yours and saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of MidianH4080. Have I not sentH7971 you?” 1512But he saidH559 to Him, “OH994 LordH136, 13howH4100 am I to saveH3467 IsraelH3478? BeholdH2009, my familyH505 is the leastH1800 in 14ManassehH4519, and I am the youngestH6810 in my father’sH1 houseH1004.” 1615Yet the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “I will certainlyH3588 be with you, and you will 16defeatH5221 MidianH4080 as oneH259 manH376.”
