Context of Judges 6:18
16And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” 17Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me. Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” And He said, “I will wait until you come back.” 19So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them. 20The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so.

Commentaries on Judges 6:18
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18And bring forth my present - My minchah ; generally an offering of bread, wine, oil, flour, and such like. It seems from this that Gideon supposed the person to whom he spoke to be a Divine person.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18My present - My Minchah: the word used regularly, though not exclusively, for the meat and drink offering (Leviticus 2:1 note).

It was very sure that the Lord was with him, when his Angel was with him. Gideon was weak in faith, which made it hard to reconcile the assurances of the presence of God with the distress to which Israel was brought. The Angel answered his objections. He told him to appear and act as Israel's deliverer, there…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 17-3218. Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I ... bring forth my present--Hebrew, my mincha, or "meat offering"; and his idea probably was to prove, by his visitor's partaking of the entertainment, whether or not he was more than man.Read the comment
