Judges 6:32-40 ▼

32 Therefore he called him on that day Jerubbaal, saying, “Let Baal plead against him because he has torn down his altar.”

33 And all the Midianite and Amalekite and the sons of the East gathered together, and they passed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

34 And the Spirit of YHWH came upon Gideon, and he blew on the shofar, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.

35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and he also gathered after him. And He sent messengers to Asher, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.

36 And Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said,

37 behold, I shall put a fleece of the wool on the threshing floor. If dew there is on the fleece only, and on all the ground it is dry, I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand as You have said.”

38 And it was so, and he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, and the dew he wrung out of the fleece, the fullness of the bowl of water.

39 And Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, and let me speak just once more. Let me test, please, only this time with the fleece. Let it be now dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew.”

40 And God did so that night, and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
