Judges 6

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H6213 did [H8799]   H7451 evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H3068 : and the LORD H5414 delivered [H8799]   H3027 them into the hand H4080 of Midian H7651 seven H8141 years.
  2 H3027 And the hand H4080 of Midian H5810 prevailed [H8799]   H3478 against Israel H6440 : and because H4080 of the Midianites H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H6213 made [H8804]   H4492 them the dens H2022 which are in the mountains H4631 , and caves H4679 , and strong holds.
  3 H3478 And so it was, when Israel H2232 had sown [H8804]   H4080 , that the Midianites H5927 came up [H8804]   H6002 , and the Amalekites H1121 , and the children H6924 of the east H5927 , even they came up [H8804]   against them;
  4 H2583 And they encamped [H8799]   H7843 against them, and destroyed [H8686]   H2981 the increase H776 of the earth H935 , till thou come [H8800]   H5804 unto Gaza H7604 , and left [H8686]   H4241 no sustenance H3478 for Israel H7716 , neither sheep H7794 , nor ox H2543 , nor ass.
  5 H5927 For they came up [H8799]   H4735 with their cattle H168 and their tents H935 , and they came [H8804]   [H8675]   H935   [H8799]   H1767 as H697 grasshoppers H7230 for multitude H1581 ; for both they and their camels H4557 were without number H935 : and they entered [H8799]   H776 into the land H7843 to destroy [H8763]   it.
  6 H3478 And Israel H3966 was greatly H1809 impoverished [H8735]   H6440 because H4080 of the Midianites H1121 ; and the children H3478 of Israel H2199 cried [H8799]   H3068 unto the LORD.
  7 H1121 And it came to pass, when the children H3478 of Israel H2199 cried [H8804]   H3068 unto the LORD H182 because H4080 of the Midianites,
  8 H3068 That the LORD H7971 sent [H8799]   H376 a prophet H5030   H1121 unto the children H3478 of Israel H559 , which said [H8799]   H559 unto them, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5927 , I brought you up [H8689]   H4714 from Egypt H3318 , and brought you forth [H8686]   H1004 out of the house H5650 of bondage;
  9 H5337 And I delivered [H8686]   H3027 you out of the hand H4714 of the Egyptians H3027 , and out of the hand H3905 of all that oppressed [H8801]   H1644 you, and drave them out [H8762]   H6440 from before H5414 you, and gave [H8799]   H776 you their land;
  10 H559 And I said [H8799]   H3068 unto you, I am the LORD H430 your God H3372 ; fear [H8799]   H430 not the gods H567 of the Amorites H776 , in whose land H3427 ye dwell [H8802]   H8085 : but ye have not obeyed [H8804]   H6963 my voice.
  11 H935 And there came [H8799]   H4397 an angel H3068 of the LORD H3427 , and sat [H8799]   H424 under an oak H6084 which was in Ophrah H3101 , that pertained unto Joash H33 the Abiezrite H1121 : and his son H1439 Gideon H2251 threshed [H8802]   H2406 wheat H1660 by the winepress H5127 , to hide [H8687]   H6440 it from H4080 the Midianites.
  12 H4397 And the angel H3068 of the LORD H7200 appeared [H8735]   H559 unto him, and said [H8799]   H3068 unto him, The LORD H1368 is with thee, thou mighty H2428 man of valour.
  13 H1439 And Gideon H559 said [H8799]   H994 unto him, Oh H113 my Lord H3426 , if H3068 the LORD H4672 be with us, why then is all this befallen [H8804]   H6381 us? and where be all his miracles [H8737]   H1 which our fathers H5608 told [H8765]   H559 us of, saying [H8800]   H3068 , Did not the LORD H5927 bring us up [H8689]   H4714 from Egypt H3068 ? but now the LORD H5203 hath forsaken [H8804]   H5414 us, and delivered [H8799]   H3709 us into the hands H4080 of the Midianites.
  14 H3068 And the LORD H6437 looked [H8799]   H559 upon him, and said [H8799]   H3212 , Go [H8798]   H3581 in this thy might H3467 , and thou shalt save [H8689]   H3478 Israel H3709 from the hand H4080 of the Midianites H7971 : have not I sent [H8804]   thee?
  15 H559 And he said [H8799]   H994 unto him, Oh H136 my Lord H4100 , wherewith H3467 shall I save [H8686]   H3478 Israel H504 ? behold, my family [H8676]   H505   H1800 is poor H4519 in Manasseh H6810 , and I am the least H1 in my father's H1004 house.
  16 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H5221 unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite [H8689]   H4080 the Midianites H259 as one H376 man.
  17 H559 And he said [H8799]   H4672 unto him, If now I have found [H8804]   H2580 grace H5869 in thy sight H6213 , then shew [H8804]   H226 me a sign H1696 that thou talkest [H8764]   with me.
  18 H4185 Depart [H8799]   H935 not hence, I pray thee, until I come [H8800]   H3318 unto thee, and bring forth [H8689]   H4503 my present H3240 , and set [H8689]   H6440 it before H559 thee. And he said [H8799]   H3427 , I will tarry [H8799]   H7725 until thou come again [H8800]  .
  19 H1439 And Gideon H935 went in [H8804]   H6213 , and made ready [H8799]   H5795 a kid H1423   H4682 , and unleavened cakes H374 of an ephah H7058 of flour H1320 : the flesh H7760 he put [H8804]   H5536 in a basket H7760 , and he put [H8804]   H4839 the broth H6517 in a pot H3318 , and brought it out [H8686]   H424 unto him under the oak H5066 , and presented [H8686]   it .
  20 H4397 And the angel H430 of God H559 said [H8799]   H3947 unto him, Take [H8798]   H1320 the flesh H4682 and the unleavened cakes H3240 , and lay [H8685]   H1975 them upon this H5553 rock H8210 , and pour out [H8798]   H4839 the broth H6213 . And he did [H8799]   so.
  21 H4397 Then the angel H3068 of the LORD H7971 put forth [H8799]   H7097 the end H4938 of the staff H3027 that was in his hand H5060 , and touched [H8799]   H1320 the flesh H4682 and the unleavened cakes H5927 ; and there rose up [H8799]   H784 fire H6697 out of the rock H398 , and consumed [H8799]   H1320 the flesh H4682 and the unleavened cakes H4397 . Then the angel H3068 of the LORD H1980 departed [H8804]   H5869 out of his sight.
  22 H1439 And when Gideon H7200 perceived [H8799]   H4397 that he was an angel H3068 of the LORD H1439 , Gideon H559 said [H8799]   H162 , Alas H136 , O Lord H3069 GOD H3651 ! for because H7200 I have seen [H8804]   H4397 an angel H3068 of the LORD H6440 face H6440 to face.
  23 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H7965 unto him, Peace H3372 be unto thee; fear [H8799]   H4191 not: thou shalt not die [H8799]  .
  24 H1439 Then Gideon H1129 built [H8799]   H4196 an altar H3068 there unto the LORD H7121 , and called [H8799]   H3073 it Jehovahshalom H3117 : unto this day H6084 it is yet in Ophrah H33 of the Abiezrites.
  25 H3915 And it came to pass the same night H3068 , that the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H3947 unto him, Take [H8798]   H1 thy father's H6499 young H7794 bullock H8145 , even the second H6499 bullock H7651 of seven H8141 years old H2040 , and throw down [H8804]   H4196 the altar H1168 of Baal H1 that thy father H3772 hath, and cut down [H8799]   H842 the grove that is by it:
  26 H1129 And build [H8804]   H4196 an altar H3068 unto the LORD H430 thy God H7218 upon the top H4581 of this rock H4634 , in the ordered place H3947 , and take [H8804]   H8145 the second H6499 bullock H5927 , and offer [H8689]   H5930 a burnt sacrifice H6086 with the wood H842 of the grove H3772 which thou shalt cut down [H8799]  .
  27 H1439 Then Gideon H3947 took [H8799]   H6235 ten H582 men H5650 of his servants H6213 , and did [H8799]   H3068 as the LORD H1696 had said [H8765]   H3372 unto him: and so it was, because he feared [H8804]   H1 his father's H1004 household H582 , and the men H5892 of the city H6213 , that he could not do [H8800]   H3119 it by day H6213 , that he did [H8799]   H3915 it by night.
  28 H582 And when the men H5892 of the city H7925 arose early [H8686]   H1242 in the morning H4196 , behold, the altar H1168 of Baal H5422 was cast down [H8795]   H842 , and the grove H3772 was cut down [H8795]   H8145 that was by it, and the second H6499 bullock H5927 was offered [H8717]   H4196 upon the altar H1129 that was built [H8803]  .
  29 H559 And they said [H8799]   H376 one H7453 to another H6213 , Who hath done [H8804]   H1697 this thing H1875 ? And when they enquired [H8799]   H1245 and asked [H8762]   H559 , they said [H8799]   H1439 , Gideon H1121 the son H3101 of Joash H6213 hath done [H8804]   H1697 this thing.
  30 H582 Then the men H5892 of the city H559 said [H8799]   H3101 unto Joash H3318 , Bring out [H8685]   H1121 thy son H4191 , that he may die [H8799]   H5422 : because he hath cast down [H8804]   H4196 the altar H1168 of Baal H3772 , and because he hath cut down [H8804]   H842 the grove that was by it.
  31 H3101 And Joash H559 said [H8799]   H5975 unto all that stood [H8804]   H7378 against him, Will ye plead [H8799]   H1168 for Baal H3467 ? will ye save [H8686]   H7378 him? he that will plead [H8799]   H4191 for him, let him be put to death [H8714]   H1242 whilst it is yet morning H430 : if he be a god H7378 , let him plead [H8799]   H5422 for himself, because one hath cast down [H8804]   H4196 his altar.
  32 H3117 Therefore on that day H7121 he called [H8799]   H3378 him Jerubbaal H559 , saying [H8800]   H1168 , Let Baal H7378 plead [H8799]   H5422 against him, because he hath thrown down [H8804]   H4196 his altar.
  33 H4080 Then all the Midianites H6002 and the Amalekites H1121 and the children H6924 of the east H622 were gathered [H8738]   H3162 together H5674 , and went over [H8799]   H2583 , and pitched [H8799]   H6010 in the valley H3157 of Jezreel.
  34 H7307 But the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H3847 came [H8804]   H1439 upon Gideon H8628 , and he blew [H8799]   H7782 a trumpet H44 ; and Abiezer H2199 was gathered [H8735]   H310 after him.
  35 H7971 And he sent [H8804]   H4397 messengers H4519 throughout all Manasseh H2199 ; who also was gathered [H8735]   H310 after H7971 him: and he sent [H8804]   H4397 messengers H836 unto Asher H2074 , and unto Zebulun H5321 , and unto Naphtali H5927 ; and they came up [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   them.
  36 H1439 And Gideon H559 said [H8799]   H430 unto God H3426 , If thou wilt H3467 save [H8688]   H3478 Israel H3027 by mine hand H1696 , as thou hast said [H8765]  ,
  37 H3322 Behold, I will put [H8688]   H1492 a fleece H6785 of wool H1637 in the floor H2919 ; and if the dew H1492 be on the fleece H2721 only, and it be dry H776 upon all the earth H3045 beside, then shall I know [H8804]   H3467 that thou wilt save [H8686]   H3478 Israel H3027 by mine hand H1696 , as thou hast said [H8765]  .
  38 H7925 And it was so: for he rose up early [H8686]   H4283 on the morrow H2115 , and thrust H1492 the fleece H2115 together [H8799]   H4680 , and wringed [H8799]   H2919 the dew H1492 out of the fleece H5602 , a bowl H4393 full H4325 of water.
  39 H1439 And Gideon H559 said [H8799]   H430 unto God H639 , Let not thine anger H2734 be hot [H8799]   H1696 against me, and I will speak [H8762]   H6471 but this once H5254 : let me prove [H8762]   H6471 , I pray thee, but this once H1492 with the fleece H2721 ; let it now be dry H1492 only upon the fleece H776 , and upon all the ground H2919 let there be dew.
  40 H430 And God H6213 did [H8799]   H3915 so that night H2721 : for it was dry H1492 upon the fleece H2919 only, and there was dew H776 on all the ground.
KJV(i) 1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD. 7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites, 8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; 9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave 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 ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. 11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. 13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. 14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? 15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. 16 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. 17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me. 18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. 21 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. 22 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. 23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 25 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: 26 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. 27 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. 28 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. 29 And 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. 30 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. 31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? 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. 32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 33 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. 34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him. 35 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. 36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, 37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
