[1]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213[H8799] evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414[H8799] them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. [No book]
[2]And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810[H8799] against IsraelH3478: and becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH6213[H8804] them the densH4492 which are in the mountainsH2022, and cavesH4631, and strong holdsH4679. [No book]
[3]And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232[H8804], that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927[H8804], and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against themH8804; [No book]
[4]And they encampedH2583[H8799] against them, and destroyedH7843[H8686] the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935[H8800] unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604[H8686] no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor assH2543. [No book]
[5]For they came upH5927[H8799] with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, and they cameH935[H8804][H8675][H935][H8799] asH1767 grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; for both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they enteredH935[H8799] into the landH776 to destroyH7843 itH8763. [No book]
[6]And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809[H8735] becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199[H8799] unto the LORDH3068. [No book]
[7]And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199[H8804] unto the LORDH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080, [No book]
[8]That the LORDH3068 sentH7971[H8799] a prophetH376[H5030] unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which saidH559[H8799] unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought you upH5927[H8689] from EgyptH4714, and brought you forthH3318[H8686] out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; [No book]
[9]And I deliveredH5337[H8686] you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all that oppressedH3905[H8801] you, and drave them outH1644[H8762] from beforeH6440 you, and gaveH5414[H8799] you their landH776; [No book]
[10]And I saidH559[H8799] unto you, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; fearH3372[H8799] not the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427[H8802]: but ye have not obeyedH8085[H8804] my voiceH6963. [No book]
[11]And there cameH935[H8799] an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427[H8799] under an oakH424 which was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the AbiezriteH33: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 threshedH2251[H8802] wheatH2406 by the winepressH1660, to hideH5127[H8687] it fromH6440 the MidianitesH4080. [No book]
[12]And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200[H8735] unto him, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, The LORDH3068 is with thee, thou mightyH1368 man of valourH2428. [No book]
[13]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799] unto him, OhH994 my LordH113, ifH3426 the LORDH3068 be with us, why then is all this befallenH4672[H8804] us? and where be all his miraclesH6381[H8737] which our fathersH1 toldH5608[H8765] us of, sayingH559[H8800], Did not the LORDH3068 bring us upH5927[H8689] from EgyptH4714? but now the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5203[H8804] us, and deliveredH5414[H8799] us into the handsH3709 of the MidianitesH4080. [No book]
[14]And the LORDH3068 lookedH6437[H8799] upon him, and saidH559[H8799], GoH3212[H8798] in this thy mightH3581, and thou shalt saveH3467[H8689] IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of the MidianitesH4080: have not I sentH7971 theeH8804? [No book]
[15]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, OhH994 my LordH136, wherewithH4100 shall I saveH3467[H8686] IsraelH3478? behold, my familyH504[H8676][H505] is poorH1800 in ManassehH4519, and I am the leastH6810 in my father'sH1 houseH1004. [No book]
[16]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smiteH5221[H8689] the MidianitesH4080 as oneH259 manH376. [No book]
[17]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, If now I have foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then shewH6213[H8804] me a signH226 that thou talkestH1696 with meH8764. [No book]
[18]DepartH4185[H8799] not hence, I pray thee, until I comeH935[H8800] unto thee, and bring forthH3318[H8689] my presentH4503, and setH3240[H8689] it beforeH6440 thee. And he saidH559[H8799], I will tarryH3427[H8799] until thou come againH7725.[H8800] [No book]
[19]And GideonH1439 went inH935[H8804], and made readyH6213[H8799] a kidH5795[H1423], and unleavened cakesH4682 of an ephahH374 of flourH7058: the fleshH1320 he putH7760[H8804] in a basketH5536, and he putH7760[H8804] the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and brought it outH3318[H8686] unto him under the oakH424, and presentedH5066 itH8686. [No book]
[20]And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559[H8799] unto him, TakeH3947[H8798] the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682, and layH3240[H8685] them upon thisH1975 rockH5553, and pour outH8210[H8798] the brothH4839. And he didH6213 soH8799. [No book]
[21]Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 put forthH7971[H8799] the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027, and touchedH5060[H8799] the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682; and there rose upH5927[H8799] fireH784 out of the rockH6697, and consumedH398[H8799] the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 departedH1980[H8804] out of his sightH5869. [No book]
[22]And when GideonH1439 perceivedH7200[H8799] that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799], AlasH162, O LordH136 GODH3069! for becauseH3651 I have seenH7200[H8804] an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440. [No book]
[23]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; fearH3372[H8799] not: thou shalt not dieH4191.[H8799] [No book]
[24]Then GideonH1439 builtH1129[H8799] an altarH4196 there unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121[H8799] it JehovahshalomH3073: unto this dayH3117 it is yet in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33. [No book]
[25]And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, TakeH3947[H8798] thy father'sH1 youngH6499 bullockH7794, even the secondH8145 bullockH6499 of sevenH7651 years oldH8141, and throw downH2040[H8804] the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 that thy fatherH1 hath, and cut downH3772[H8799] the grove that is by itH842: [No book]
[26]And buildH1129[H8804] an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 upon the topH7218 of this rockH4581, in the ordered placeH4634, and takeH3947[H8804] the secondH8145 bullockH6499, and offerH5927[H8689] a burnt sacrificeH5930 with the woodH6086 of the groveH842 which thou shalt cut downH3772.[H8799] [No book]
[27]Then GideonH1439 tookH3947[H8799] tenH6235 menH582 of his servantsH5650, and didH6213[H8799] as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696[H8765] unto him: and so it was, because he fearedH3372[H8804] his father'sH1 householdH1004, and the menH582 of the cityH5892, that he could not doH6213[H8800] it by dayH3119, that he didH6213[H8799] it by nightH3915. [No book]
[28]And when the menH582 of the cityH5892 arose earlyH7925[H8686] in the morningH1242, behold, the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 was cast downH5422[H8795], and the groveH842 was cut downH3772[H8795] that was by it, and the secondH8145 bullockH6499 was offeredH5927[H8717] upon the altarH4196 that was builtH1129.[H8803] [No book]
[29]And they saidH559[H8799] oneH376 to anotherH7453, Who hath doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697? And when they enquiredH1875[H8799] and askedH1245[H8762], they saidH559[H8799], GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 hath doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697. [No book]
[30]Then the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559[H8799] unto JoashH3101, Bring outH3318[H8685] thy sonH1121, that he may dieH4191[H8799]: because he hath cast downH5422[H8804] the altarH4196 of BaalH1168, and because he hath cut downH3772[H8804] the grove that was by itH842. [No book]
[31]And JoashH3101 saidH559[H8799] unto all that stoodH5975[H8804] against him, Will ye pleadH7378[H8799] for BaalH1168? will ye saveH3467[H8686] him? he that will pleadH7378[H8799] for him, let him be put to deathH4191[H8714] whilst it is yet morningH1242: if he be a godH430, let him pleadH7378[H8799] for himself, because one hath cast downH5422[H8804] his altarH4196. [No book]
[32]Therefore on that dayH3117 he calledH7121[H8799] him JerubbaalH3378, sayingH559[H8800], Let BaalH1168 pleadH7378[H8799] against him, because he hath thrown downH5422[H8804] his altarH4196. [No book]
[33]Then all the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 were gatheredH622[H8738] togetherH3162, and went overH5674[H8799], and pitchedH2583[H8799] in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. [No book]
[34]But the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH3847[H8804] upon GideonH1439, and he blewH8628[H8799] a trumpetH7782; and AbiezerH44 was gatheredH2199[H8735] after himH310. [No book]
[35]And he sentH7971[H8804] messengersH4397 throughout all ManassehH4519; who also was gatheredH2199[H8735] afterH310 him: and he sentH7971[H8804] messengersH4397 unto AsherH836, and unto ZebulunH2074, and unto NaphtaliH5321; and they came upH5927[H8799] to meetH7125 themH8800. [No book]
[36]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799] unto GodH430, If thou wiltH3426 saveH3467[H8688] IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, H1696as thou hast saidH8765 [No book]
[37]Behold, I will putH3322[H8688] a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 in the floorH1637; and if the dewH2919 be on the fleeceH1492 only, and it be dryH2721 upon all the earthH776 beside, then shall I knowH3045[H8804] that thou wilt saveH3467[H8686] IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696.[H8765] [No book]
[38]And it was so: for he rose up earlyH7925[H8686] on the morrowH4283, and thrustH2115 the fleeceH1492 togetherH2115[H8799], and wringedH4680[H8799] the dewH2919 out of the fleeceH1492, a bowlH5602 fullH4393 of waterH4325. [No book]
[39]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799] unto GodH430, Let not thine angerH639 be hotH2734[H8799] against me, and I will speakH1696[H8762] but this onceH6471: let me proveH5254[H8762], I pray thee, but this onceH6471 with the fleeceH1492; let it now be dryH2721 only upon the fleeceH1492, and upon all the groundH776 let there be dewH2919. [No book]
[40]And GodH430 didH6213[H8799] so that nightH3915: for it was dryH2721 upon the fleeceH1492 only, and there was dewH2919 on all the groundH776. [No book]
