32 And he will call to him in that day, Baal will be powerful, saying, Baal will be mighty against him because he threw down his altar. 33 And all Midian and Amalek, and the sons of the east were gathered together, and they will pass over and they will encamp in the valley of Jezreel. 34 And the spirit of Jehovah clothed Gideon, and he will strike upon the trumpet; and Abiezer will be called after him. 35 And he sent messengers in all Manasseh; and he also will be called after him: and he sent messengers in Asher, and in Zebulon, and in Naphtali; and they will come up to meet them. 36 And Gideon will say to God, If thou art saving Israel by my hand, as thou spakest, 37 Behold me putting a fleece of wool in the threshing-floor, and if the dew shall be upon the fleece only, and upon all the earth dryness, and I knew that thou wilt save Israel by my hand as thou spakest. 38 And it will be so: and he will rise early upon the morrow, and he will press the fleece together, and the dew will press out from the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39 And Gideon will say to God, Thine anger will not kindle against me, and I will speak but this once: I will try now only this once upon the fleece; there shall be dryness to the fleece alone, and upon all the earth shall be dew. 40 And God will do so in that night: and there will be dryness to the fleece only, and upon all the earth was dew.
