07:006:013 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if
the lord be with us,
why
then is all this befallen us? and where be all his
miracles
which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the
lord
bring us up from Egypt? but now the lord hath
forsaken
us,
and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
07:006:014 And the lord looked upon him, and
said, Go in this thy might,
and
thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites:
have
not I sent thee?
07:006:015 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith
shall I save
Israel?
behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the
least
in my father’s house.
07:006:016 And the lord said unto him, Surely
I will be with thee, and
thou
shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
07:006:017 And he said unto him, If now I have found
grace in thy sight,
then
shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
07:006:018 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I
come unto thee, and
bring
forth my present, and set it before thee. And
he said, I
will
tarry until thou come again.
07:006:019 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid,
and unleavened cakes
of
an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket,
and he put
the
broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the
oak,
and
presented it.
07:006:020 And the angel of God said unto him, Take
the flesh and the
unleavened
cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out
the
broth. And he did so.
07:006:021 Then the angel of the lord put forth
the end of the staff that
was
in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened
cakes;
and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed
the
flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel
of the lord
departed
out of his sight.
07:006:022 And when Gideon perceived that he was an
angel of the lord,
Gideon
said, Alas, O lord God! for because I have seen
an
angel
of the lord face to face.
07:006:023 And the lord said unto him, Peace
be unto thee; fear not: thou
shalt
not die.
07:006:024 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the
lord, and called it
Jehovahshalom:
unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the
Abiezrites.
07:006:025 And it came to pass the same night, that
the lord said unto
him,
Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second
bullock
of
seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that
thy
father
hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
