| [1]Afterward the children of Israel committed wickedness in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hands of Midian seven years. |
[1]And the children of Israel committed wickednesse in the syght of the Lorde: And the Lorde deliuered them into the handes of Madian seuen yeres |
| [2]And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dens in the mountains , and caves, and strong holds. |
[2]And the hand of Madian preuayled against Israel: & because of the Madianites, ye children of Israel made them dennes in the mountaynes and caues, and strong holdes |
| [3]When Israel had sown, then came up the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the east, and came upon them, |
[3]And when Israel had sowen, then came vp the Madianites, the Amalechites, and they of the east, and came vp agaynst them |
| [4]And camped by them, and destroyed the fruit of the earth, even till thou come unto Gaza, and left no food for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. |
[4]And pitched their tentes against them, and destroyed the encrease of the earth, euen tyll thou come vnto Azah, & left no sustenaunce for Israel, neither sheepe, oxe, nor asse |
| [5]For they went up, and their cattle, and came with their tents as grasshoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it. |
[5]For they went vp, they and their cattel, and came with their tentes as a multitude of grasshopers, so that both they and also their camels were without number: And they entred into the land to destroy it |
| [6]So was Israel exceedingly impoverished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cried unto the Lord. |
[6]And so was Israel exceedingly impoueryshed in the sight of the Madianites, and cried vnto the Lorde |
| [7]And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, |
[7]And when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, because of the Madianites |
| [8]The Lord sent unto the children of Israel a prophet, who said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you out of the house of bondage, |
[8]The Lorde sent vnto them a prophet, which sayd vnto them, Thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel: I fet you from Egypt, & brought you out of the house of bondage |
| [9]And I have delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and have cast them out before you, and given you their land. |
[9]And I ryd you out of the hande of the Egyptians, & out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and cast them out before you, and gaue you their land |
| [10]And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God: fear not the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell: but you have not obeyed my voice. |
[10]And I sayd vnto you: I am the Lord your God, feare not the goddes of the Amorites in whose lande you dwell: But you haue not obeyed my voyce |
| [11]And the angel of the Lord came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the father of the Ezrites, and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. |
[11]And the angel of the Lorde came and sate vnder an Oke which was in Ephrah, that parteyned vnto Ioas the father of the Esrites: And his sonne Gedeon threshed wheat by the wyne presse, to hyde it from the Madianites |
| [12]Then the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man. |
[12]And the angel of the Lorde appeared vnto him, and said vnto him: The Lord is with thee, thou mightie man |
| [13]To whom Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this come upon us? And where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, and said, Did not the Lord bring us out of Egypt? But now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of the Midianites. |
[13]And Gedeon aunswered him: Oh my Lord, if the Lorde be with vs, why is all this come vpon vs? Yea, & where be all his miracles which our fathers tolde vs of, and sayd: Dyd not the Lord bryng vs out of Egypt? But nowe the Lord hath forsaken vs, and deliuered vs into the handes of the Madianites |
| [14]And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel out of the hands of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? |
[14]And the Lord loked vpon him, and sayde: Go hence in this thy might, and thou shalt deliuer Israel out of the handes of the Madianites: Haue not I sent thee |
| [15]And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I save Israel? Behold, my father is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. |
[15]And he aunswered him: Oh Lorde, wherwith shall I saue Israel? Behold my kinred is poore in Manasses, and I am litle in my fathers house |
| [16]Then the Lord said unto him, I will therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man. |
[16]The Lord sayd vnto him: I will be with thee, & thou shalt smyte the Madianites, as they were but one man |
| [17]And he answered him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, then show me a sign, that thou talkest with me. |
[17]And he aunswered him: Oh, yf I haue founde grace in thy syght, than shew me a a signe, that it is thou that talkest with me |
| [18]Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring mine offering, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. |
[18]Departe not hence I pray thee vntyll I come vnto thee, & tyll I bryng myne offring, and haue set it before thee. And he sayd: I will tary vntyll thou come againe |
| [19]Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened bread of an ephah of flour, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. |
[19]And Gedeon went in, and made redy a kyd, and sweete cakes of an Epha of floure, and put it with the fleshe in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out vnto him vnder the Oke, and presented it |
| [20]And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened bread, and lay them upon this stone, and pour out the broth: and he did so. |
[20]And the angel of God sayd vnto him: Take the flesh and the sweete cakes, & lay them vpon this rocke, and powre out the broth. And he dyd so |
| [21]Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread: and there arose up fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread: so the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. |
[21]Then the angel of the Lord put foorth the end of the staffe that he helde in his hande, and touched the fleshe and the sweete cakes, and there arose vp fire out of the rocke, and consumed the flesh and the sweete cakes: But the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight |
| [22]And when Gideon perceived that it was an angel of the Lord, Gideon then said, Alas, my Lord God: for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face, I shall die. |
[22]And when Gedeon perceaued that it was an angel of the Lorde, he sayde: Alas, O Lorde God, haue I therfore seene an angel of the Lorde face to face, [that I should dye? |
| [23]And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee: fear not, thou shalt not die. |
[23]And the Lorde sayd vnto him: Peace be vnto thee, feare not, thou shalt not dye |
| [24]Then Gideon made an altar there unto the Lord, and called it, Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites. |
[24]Then Gedeon made an aulter there vnto the Lord, and called it, The Lord of peace. And vnto this day it is yet in Ephrath, that parteyneth vnto the father of the Esrites |
| [25]And the same night the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, and another bullock of seven years old, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it, |
[25]And the same nyght the Lorde sayde vnto him: Take thy fathers young bullocke, & an other bullocke of 7 yeres olde, and destroy the aulter of Baal that thy father hath, and cut downe the groue that is by it |
| [26]And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in a plain place: and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt cut down. |
[26]And make an aulter vnto the Lord thy God vpon the top of this rocke in a conuenient place, and take the second bullocke, and offer burnt sacrifice vpo the wood of the groue which thou shalt cut downe |
| [27]Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord bade him: but because he feared to do it by day for his father's household, and the men of the city, he did it by night. |
[27]Then Gedeon toke ten men of his seruauntes, & did as the Lord bad him: But because he feared to do it by daye for his fathers housholde and the men of the citie, he dyd it by nyght |
| [28]And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken, and the grove cut down that was by it, and the second bullock offered upon the altar that was made. |
[28]And when the men of the citie arose early in the mornyng, beholde the aulter of Baal was broken, & the groue cut downe that was by it, and the seconde bullocke offered vpon the aulter that was made |
| [29]Therefore they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. |
[29]And they sayde one to another: who hath done this thing? And whan they enquered and asked, they sayd: Gedeon ye sonne of Ioas hath done this thing |
| [30]Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut down the grove that was by it. |
[30]Then the men of the citie sayde vnto Ioas, Bring out thy sonne, that he may dye: because he hath destroyed the aulter of Baal, and cut downe the groue that was by it |
| [31]And Joash said unto all that stood by him, Will ye plead Baal's cause? Or will ye save him? He that will contend for him, let him die ere the morning. If he be God, let him plead for himself against him that hath cast down his altar. |
[31]And Ioas sayd vnto al that stoode by him: Will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye saue him? He that will contende for him, let him dye or the morning. If he be a God, let him pleade for himselfe agaynst him that hath caste downe his aulter |
| [32]And in that day was Gideon called Jerubbaal, that is, Let Baal plead for himself because he hath broken down his altar. |
[32]And from that day, was Gedeon called Ierobaal: because his father had sayd, Let Baal pleade for himselfe, because he hath broken downe his aulter |
| [33]Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of the east, were gathered together, and went and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. |
[33]All the Madianites therfore, and the Amalekites, and they of the east, were gathered together, & went and pytched in the valley of Iesrael |
| [34]But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was joined with him. |
[34]But the spirite of the Lorde came vppon Gedeon, and he blewe a trumpet, and Abiezer was ioyned with him |
| [35]And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, which also was joined with him, and he sent messengers unto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came up to meet them. |
[35]And he sent messengers throughout all Manasses, which also was ioyned with him, and he sent messengers vnto Azar, Zabulon, and Nephthalim, and they came to meete them |
| [36]Then Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, |
[36]And Gedeon sayd vnto God: Yf thou wilt saue Israel by myne hand, as thou hast sayd |
| [37]Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the threshing place: if the dew come on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. |
[37]Beholde, I wil put a fleece of wool in the treashing place: And if the dewe come on the fleece onely, and it be drye vpon all the earth besyde, then shall I be sure that thou wilt saue Israel by my hand, as thou saydest |
| [38]And so it was: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowl of water. |
[38]And it came so to passe: For he rose vp early on the morowe, & thrust the fleece together, and wrong the dewe therout, and fylled a bowle of water |
| [39]Again, Gideon said unto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speak once more: let me prove once again, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and let dew be upon all the ground. |
[39]And Gedeon sayde agayne vnto God: Be not angry with me, that I speake once more, for I wil proue once agayne by the fleece. Let it be drye onely vpon the fleece, and dewe vpon al the ground |
| [40]And God did so that same night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. |
[40]And God dyd so that same nyght: For it was drye vpon the fleece only, & there was dewe on all the grounde |
