It was impossible to count the men and their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. »ñ 6:6 Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the LORD for help. »ñ6:7 Çϳª´ÔÀÇ Ã¥¸Á »ñ 6:7 When the Israelites cried to the LORD because of Midian, »ñ 6:8 he sent them a prophet, who said, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. »ñ 6:9 I snatched you from the power of Egypt and from the hand of all your oppressors. I drove them from before you an d gave you their land. »ñ 6:10 I said to you, 'I am the LORD your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live.' But y ou have not listened to me." »ñ 6:11 The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. »ñ 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." »ñ 6:13 "But sir," Gideon replied, "if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are a ll his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the L ORD has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian." »ñ 6:14 The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I n ot sending you?" »ñ 6:15 "But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am t he least in my family." »ñ 6:16 The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together." »ñ6:17 ǥ¡À» ±¸ÇÏ´Â ±âµå¿Â »ñ 6:17 Gideon replied, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to m e. »ñ 6:18 Please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you." And the LORD said, "I will wait until you return." »ñ 6:19 Gideon went in, prepared a young goat, and from an ephah of flour he made bread without yeast. Putting the meat in a basket and its broth in a pot, he brought them out and offered them to him under the oak. »ñ 6:20 The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock, and pour o ut the broth." And Gideon did so. »ñ 6:21 With the tip of the staff that was in his hand, the angel of the LORD touched the meat and the unleavened bread . Fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the LORD disappeared. »ñ 6:22 When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he exclaimed, "Ah, Sovereign LORD!

You are not going to die." »ñ 6:24 So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. »ñ 6:25 That same night the LORD said to him, "Take the second bull from your father's herd, the one seven years o ld. Tear down your father's altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. |
