Judges 6:3-11

3And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them; 4And they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor donkeyH2543.1 5For they came upH5927 with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, and they cameH935 asH1767 grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; for both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they enteredH935 into the landH776 to destroyH7843 it. 6And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809 becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068.

7And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080, 8That YhwhH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH5030H376 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought you upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and brought you forthH3318 out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;2 9And I deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all that oppressedH3905 you, and drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, and gaveH5414 you their landH776; 10And I saidH559 unto you, I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430; fearH3372 not the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.

11And there cameH935 an angelH4397 of YhwhH3068, and satH3427 under an oakH424 which was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the Abi–ezriteH33: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 threshedH2251 wheatH2406 by the winepressH1660, to hideH5127 it fromH6440 the MidianitesH4080.34
