Judges 6:25-40

25And it cameH1961 to passH1961 the sameH1931 nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 thy father’sH1 bullock, evenH853 the secondH8145 bullock of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 oldH8141, and throw downH3772 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 that thy fatherH1 hath, and cutH3772 downH3772 the AsherahH842 that is by it: 26and buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 uponH5921 the topH7218 of this strongH4581 hold, in the orderlyH4634 mannerH4634, and takeH3947 the secondH8145 bullock, and offerH5927 a burntH5930 offering with the woodH6086 of the AsherahH842 whichH834 thou shalt cutH3772 downH3772. 27Then GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 menH376 of his servantsH5650, and didH6213 as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him: and it cameH1961 to passH1961, becauseH834 he fearedH3372 his father’sH1 householdH1004 and the menH376 of the cityH5892, soH6213 that he couldH376 notH1961 doH6213 it by dayH3119, that he didH6213 it by nightH3915. 28And when the menH376 of the cityH5892 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, beholdH2009, the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 was brokenH5422 downH5422, and the AsherahH842 was cutH3772 downH5422 that was by it, and the secondH8145 bullock was offeredH5927 uponH5921 the altarH4196 that was builtH1129. 29And they saidH559 one to anotherH7453, Who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697? And when they inquiredH1875 and askedH559, they saidH559, GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 hath doneH6213 this thingH1697. 30Then the menH376 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto JoashH3101, BringH3318 outH3318 thy sonH1121, that he may dieH4191: becauseH3588 he hath brokenH5422 downH5422 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168, and becauseH3588 he hath cutH3772 downH5422 the AsherahH842 that was by it. 31And JoashH3101 saidH559 unto allH3605 that stoodH5975 againstH5921 him, Will ye pleadH7378 for BaalH1168? or will ye saveH3467 him? he that will pleadH7378 for him, let him be putH4191 to deathH4191 whilst it is yet morningH1242: ifH518 he be a godH430, let him pleadH7378 for himselfH1931, becauseH3588 one hath brokenH5422 downH5422 his altarH4196. 32Therefore on that dayH3117 he calledH7121 him JerubbaalH3378, sayingH559, Let BaalH1168 pleadH7378 againstH7378 him, becauseH3588 he hath brokenH5422 downH5422 his altarH4196. 33Then allH3605 the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 assembledH622 themselvesH622 togetherH3162; and they passedH5674 over, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157 34But the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH3847 uponH3847 GideonH1439; and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782; and AbiezerH44 was gathered togetherH2199 afterH310 him. 35And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughoutH3605 allH3605 ManassehH4519; and they also were gathered togetherH2199 afterH310 him: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto AsherH836, and unto ZebulunH2074, and unto NaphtaliH5321; and they cameH5927 upH5927 to meetH7125 them. 36And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, IfH518 thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast spokenH1696, 37beholdH2009, I will putH3322 a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 on the threshing-floor; ifH518 there be dewH2919 on the fleeceH1492 onlyH905, and it be dryH2721 uponH5921 allH3605 the groundH776, then shall I knowH3045 that thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast spokenH1696. 38And it was soH3651: for he roseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 on the morrow, and pressedH2115 the fleeceH1492 together, and wringed the dewH2919 outH4480 of the fleeceH1492, a bowlful of waterH4325. 39And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, LetH4994 notH408 thine angerH639 be kindledH2734 againstH5921 meH413, and I will speakH1696 but this onceH6471: letH4994 meH413 prove, I prayH4994 thee, but this onceH6471 with the fleeceH1492; letH4994 it nowH4994 be dryH2721 onlyH389 uponH5921 the fleeceH1492, and uponH5921 allH3605 the groundH776 letH4994 there be dewH2919. 40And GodH430 didH6213 soH3651 that nightH3915: for it was dryH2721 uponH5921 the fleeceH1492 onlyH905, and there was dewH2919 on allH3605 the groundH776.
