*
And it came to pass the same night ,
that the LORD said unto him ,
Take thy father '
s young bullock ,
even the second bullock of seven years old ,
and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath ,
and cut down the grove that is by it :
*
And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock ,
in the ordered place ,
and take the second bullock ,
and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt 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 .
*
And they said one to another ,
Who hath done this thing ?
And when they enquired and asked ,
they said ,
Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing .
*
Then the men of the city said unto Joash ,
Bring out thy son ,
that he may die :
because he hath cast down the altar of Baal ,
and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it .
