Judges 6:1-14

1And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.

2And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810 againstH5921 IsraelH3478: and becauseH5921 of MidianH4080 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH6213 them the densH4492 whichH834 are in the mountainsH2022, and the cavesH4631, and the strongH5810 holds.

3And soH1961 it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 cameH1961 upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924; they cameH1961 upH5927 againstH5921 them;

4and they encampedH2583 againstH5921 them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, tillH5704 thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 noH3808 sustenanceH4241 in IsraelH3478, neitherH3808 sheepH7716, norH3808 oxH7794, norH3808 ass.

5For they cameH935 upH5927 with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, they cameH935 in as locustsH697 for multitudeH7230; both they and their camelsH1581 were withoutH369 numberH4557: and they cameH935 intoH935 the landH776 to destroyH7843 it.

6And IsraelH3478 was broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809 becauseH6440 of MidianH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068.

7And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH3588 of MidianH4080,

8that the LORDH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH5030 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I broughtH3318 youH7971 upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and broughtH3318 youH7971 forthH3318 outH3318 of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;

9and I deliveredH5337 youH5414 outH1644 of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4713, and outH1644 of the handH3027 of allH3605 that oppressedH3905 youH5414, and drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 youH5414, and gaveH5414 youH5414 their landH776;

10and I saidH559 unto youH859, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; ye shall notH3808 fearH3372 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whoseH834 landH776 ye dwellH3427: but ye have notH3808 hearkened unto my voiceH6963.

11And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 and satH3427 underH8478 the oakH424 whichH834 was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the AbiezriteH33: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 was beatingH2251 outH6440 wheatH2406 in the winepress, to hide it from the MidianitesH4080.

12And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 is with thee, thou mightyH1368 manH1368 of valour.

13And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto him, Oh my lordH3068, ifH834 the LORDH3068 be with usH5414, whyH4100 then is allH3605 this befallenH4672 usH5414? and whereH834 be allH3605 his wondrousH6381 worksH6381 whichH834 our fathersH1 toldH559 usH5414 of, sayingH559, DidH4100 notH3808 the LORDH3068 bringH5927 usH5414 upH5927 from EgyptH4714? but nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath castH5414 usH5414 offH5414, and deliveredH5414 usH5414 intoH413 the handH3709 of MidianH4080.

14And the LORDH3068 lookedH6437 uponH413 him, and saidH559, GoH7971 in this thy might, and saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of MidianH4080: have notH3808 I sentH7971 thee?
