And the children
of Israel
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD:
and the LORD
delivered
them into the hand
of Midian
seven
years.
And the hand
of Midian
prevailed
against Israel:
and because
of the Midianites
the children
of Israel
made
them the dens
which are in the mountains,
and caves,
and strong holds.

And so it was, when Israel
had sown,
that the Midianites
came up,
and the Amalekites,
and the children
of the east,
even they came up
against them;
And they encamped
against them, and destroyed
the increase
of the earth,
till thou come
unto Gaza,
and left
no sustenance
for Israel,
neither sheep,
nor ox,
nor ass.
For they came up
with their cattle
and their tents,
and they came
as
grasshoppers
for multitude;
for both they and their camels
were without number:
and they entered
into the land
to destroy
it.

And Israel
was greatly
impoverished
because
of the Midianites;
and the children
of Israel
cried
unto the LORD.
And it came to pass, when the children
of Israel
cried
unto the LORD
because
of the Midianites,
That the LORD
sent
a prophet
unto the children
of Israel,
which said
unto them, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel,
I brought you up
from Egypt,
and brought you forth
out of the house
of bondage;
say
And I delivered
you out of the hand
of the Egyptians,
and out of the hand
of all that oppressed
you, and drave them out
from before
you, and gave
you their land;
And I said
unto you, I am the LORD
your God;
fear
not the gods
of the Amorites,
in whose land
ye dwell:
but ye have not obeyed
my voice.

And there came
an angel
of the LORD,
and sat
under an oak
which was in Ophrah,
that pertained unto Joash
the Abiezrite:
and his son
Gideon
threshed
wheat
by the winepress,
to hide
it from
the Midianites.

And the angel

unto him, and said
unto him, The LORD

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

but now the LORD
hath forsaken
us, and delivered
us into the hands
of the Midianites.

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?
say
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.

And the LORD
said
unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite
the Midianites
as one
man.
And he said
unto him, If now I have found
grace
in thy sight,
then shew
me a sign
that thou talkest
with me.
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.

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.

Then the angel

And when Gideon

Alas,

And the LORD

it Jehovahshalom:
unto this day
it is yet in Ophrah
of the Abiezrites.

And it came to pass the same night,
that the LORD
said
unto him, Take

young
bullock,
even the second
bullock
of seven
years old,
and throw down
the altar
of Baal
that thy father
hath, and cut down

Then Gideon
took
ten
men
of his servants,
and did
as the LORD
had said
unto him: and so it was, because he feared
his father's
household,
and the men
of the city,
that he could not do
it by day,
that he did
it by night.
And when the men
of the city
arose early
in the morning,
behold, the altar
of Baal
was cast down,
and the grove
was cut down
that was by it, and the second
bullock
was offered
upon the altar
that was built.

Then the men

And Joash

whilst it is yet morning:
if he be a god,
let him plead
for himself, because one hath cast down

Therefore on that day
he called

Let Baal

Then all the Midianites
and the Amalekites
and the children
of the east
were gathered
together,
and went over,
and pitched
in the valley
of Jezreel.
But the Spirit
of the LORD
came
upon Gideon,
and he blew
a trumpet;
and Abiezer
was gathered
after
him.
And he sent
messengers
throughout all Manasseh;
who also was gathered
after
him: and he sent
messengers
unto Asher,
and unto Zebulun,
and unto Naphtali;
and they came up
to meet
them.
And Gideon
said
unto God,
If thou wilt
save
Israel
by mine hand,
as thou hast said,
Behold, I will put
a fleece
of wool
in the floor;
and if the dew
be on the fleece
only, and it be dry
upon all the earth
beside, then shall I know
that thou wilt save
Israel
by mine hand,
as thou hast said.

And it was so: for he rose up early
on the morrow,
and thrust

together,
and wringed

out of the fleece,

full
of water.
And Gideon
said
unto God,
Let not thine anger
be hot
against me, and I will speak
but this once:
let me prove,
I pray thee, but this once
with the fleece;
let it now be dry
only upon the fleece,
and upon all the ground
let there be dew.
