*
Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand ,
and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes ;
and there rose up fire out of the rock ,
and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes .
Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight .
*
And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD ,
Gideon said ,
Alas ,
O Lord GOD !
for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face .
*
And the LORD said unto him ,
Peace be unto thee ;
fear not :
thou shalt not die .
*
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD ,
and called it Jehovahshalom Y @
havah :
unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites #
Abiy ha -#
Ezriy #.
*
And it came to pass the same night ,
that the LORD said unto him ,
Take thy fathers 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 ma #
owz #,
in the ordered place ma #
arakah #,
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 fathers 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 Yow #
ash #,
Bring out thy son ,
that he may die :
because he hath cast down the altar of Baal Ba #
al #,
and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it .
*
And Joash said unto all that stood against him ,
Will ye plead for Baal Ba #
al #?
will ye save him ?
he that will plead for him ,
let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning :
if he be a god ,
let him plead for himself ,
because one hath cast down his altar .
*
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal Y @
rubba #
al #,
saying ,
Let Baal plead against him ,
because he hath thrown down his altar .
*
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 Yizr @#

But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon Gid #
own #,
and he blew a trumpet ;
and Abiezer #
Abiy #
ezer #
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 ,
