Judges 6:11-21

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?

15And he saidH559 unto him, Oh LordH136, wherewith shall I saveH3467 IsraelH3478? beholdH2009, my familyH1004 is the poorest in ManassehH4519, and I am the leastH6810 in my father’sH1 houseH1004.

16And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, SurelyH3588 I will be with thee, and thou shalt smiteH5221 the MidianitesH4080 as one manH376.

17And he saidH559 unto him, IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then shew meH413 a signH226 that it is thou that talkest with meH413.

18DepartH4185 notH408 hence, I prayH4994 thee, untilH5704 I comeH935 unto thee, and bringH935 forthH3318 my presentH4503, and layH3318 it beforeH6440 thee. And he saidH559, I will tarry untilH5704 thou comeH935 againH7725.

19And GideonH1439 wentH3318 in, and madeH6213 ready a kid, and unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682 of an ephahH374 of mealH7058: the fleshH1320 he putH7760 in a basketH5536, and he putH7760 the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and broughtH935 it outH3318 unto him underH8478 the oakH424, and presentedH935 it.

20And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682, and lay them uponH413 this rockH5553, and pourH8210 outH8210 the brothH4839. And he didH6213 soH3651.

21Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 putH7971 forthH7971 the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027, and touchedH5060 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682; and there wentH1980 upH5927 fireH784 outH4480 of the rockH6697, and consumedH398 the fleshH1320 and the unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682; and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 departedH1980 outH4480 of his sightH5869.
