6:2 And the hand 3027 of Midian 4080 prevailed 58108799 against Israel 3478: [and] because 6440 of the Midianites 4080 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 made 62138804 them the dens 4492 which [are] in the mountains 2022, and caves 4631, and strong holds 4679.(prevailed: Heb. was strong)
6:3 And [so] it was, when Israel 3478 had sown 22328804, that the Midianites 4080 came up 59278804, and the Amalekites 6002, and the children 1121 of the east 6924, even they came up 59278804 against them;
6:4 And they encamped 25838799 against them, and destroyed 78438686 the increase 2981 of the earth 776, till thou come 9358800 unto Gaza 5804, and left 76048686 no sustenance 4241 for Israel 3478, neither sheep 7716, nor ox 7794, nor ass 2543.(sheep: or goat)
6:5 For they came up 59278799 with their cattle 4735 and their tents 168, and they came 935880486759358799 as 1767 grasshoppers 697 for multitude 7230; [for] both they and their camels 1581 were without number 4557: and they entered 9358799 into the land 776 to destroy 78438763 it.
6:7 And it came to pass, when the children 1121 of Israel 3478 cried 21998804 unto the LORD 3068 because 182 of the Midianites 4080,
6:8 That the LORD 3068 sent 79718799 a prophet 3765030 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, which said 5598799 unto them, Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, I brought you up 59278689 from Egypt 4714, and brought you forth 33188686 out of the house 1004 of bondage 5650;(a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet)
6:9 And I delivered 53378686 you out of the hand 3027 of the Egyptians 4714, and out of the hand 3027 of all that oppressed 39058801 you, and drave them out 16448762 from before 6440 you, and gave 54148799 you their land 776;
6:10 And I said 5598799 unto you, I [am] the LORD 3068 your God 430; fear 33728799 not the gods 430 of the Amorites 567, in whose land 776 ye dwell 34278802: but ye have not obeyed 80858804 my voice 6963.
6:11 And there came 9358799 an angel 4397 of the LORD 3068, and sat 34278799 under an oak 424 which [was] in Ophrah 6084, that [pertained] unto Joash 3101 the Abiezrite 33: and his son 1121 Gideon 1439 threshed 22518802 wheat 2406 by the winepress 1660, to hide 51278687 [it] from 6440 the Midianites 4080.(Gideon: Gr. Gedeon)(to hide…: Heb. to cause it to flee)
6:12 And the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 appeared 72008735 unto him, and said 5598799 unto him, The LORD 3068 [is] with thee, thou mighty 1368 man of valour 2428.
6:13 And Gideon 1439 said 5598799 unto him, Oh 994 my Lord 113, if 3426 the LORD 3068 be with us, why then is all this befallen 46728804 us? and where [be] all his miracles 63818737 which our fathers 1 told 56088765 us of, saying 5598800, Did not the LORD 3068 bring us up 59278689 from Egypt 4714? but now the LORD 3068 hath forsaken 52038804 us, and delivered 54148799 us into the hands 3709 of the Midianites 4080.
6:15 And he said 5598799 unto him, Oh 994 my Lord 136, wherewith 4100 shall I save 34678686 Israel 3478? behold, my family 5048676505 [is] poor 1800 in Manasseh 4519, and I [am] the least 6810 in my father's 1 house 1004.(my family…: Heb. my thousand is the meanest)
6:16 And the LORD 3068 said 5598799 unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite 52218689 the Midianites 4080 as one 259 man 376.
6:18 Depart 41858799 not hence, I pray thee, until I come 9358800 unto thee, and bring forth 33188689 my present 4503, and set 32408689 [it] before 6440 thee. And he said 5598799, I will tarry 34278799 until thou come again 77258800.(present: or, meat offering)
6:21 Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 put forth 79718799 the end 7097 of the staff 4938 that [was] in his hand 3027, and touched 50608799 the flesh 1320 and the unleavened cakes 4682; and there rose up 59278799 fire 784 out of the rock 6697, and consumed 3988799 the flesh 1320 and the unleavened cakes 4682. Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 departed 19808804 out of his sight 5869.
6:24 Then Gideon 1439 built 11298799 an altar 4196 there unto the LORD 3068, and called 71218799 it Jehovahshalom 3073: unto this day 3117 it [is] yet in Ophrah 6084 of the Abiezrites 33.(Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace)
6:25 And it came to pass the same night 3915, that the LORD 3068 said 5598799 unto him, Take 39478798 thy father's 1 young 6499 bullock 7794, even the second 8145 bullock 6499 of seven 7651 years old 8141, and throw down 20408804 the altar 4196 of Baal 1168 that thy father 1 hath, and cut down 37728799 the grove 842 that [is] by it:(even: or, and)
6:26 And build 11298804 an altar 4196 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430 upon the top 7218 of this rock 4581, in the ordered place 4634, and take 39478804 the second 8145 bullock 6499, and offer 59278689 a burnt sacrifice 5930 with the wood 6086 of the grove 842 which thou shalt cut down 37728799.(rock: Heb. strong place)(in the ordered…: or, in an orderly manner)
6:28 And when the men 582 of the city 5892 arose early 79258686 in the morning 1242, behold, the altar 4196 of Baal 1168 was cast down 54228795, and the grove 842 was cut down 37728795 that [was] by it, and the second 8145 bullock 6499 was offered 59278717 upon the altar 4196 [that was] built 11298803.
6:30 Then the men 582 of the city 5892 said 5598799 unto Joash 3101, Bring out 33188685 thy son 1121, that he may die 41918799: because he hath cast down 54228804 the altar 4196 of Baal 1168, and because he hath cut down 37728804 the grove 842 that [was] by it.
6:31 And Joash 3101 said 5598799 unto all that stood 59758804 against him, Will ye plead 73788799 for Baal 1168? will ye save 34678686 him? he that will plead 73788799 for him, let him be put to death 41918714 whilst [it is yet] morning 1242: if he [be] a god 430, let him plead 73788799 for himself, because [one] hath cast down 54228804 his altar 4196.
6:32 Therefore on that day 3117 he called 71218799 him Jerubbaal 3378, saying 5598800, Let Baal 1168 plead 73788799 against him, because he hath thrown down 54228804 his altar 4196.(Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead)(Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead)
6:33 Then all the Midianites 4080 and the Amalekites 6002 and the children 1121 of the east 6924 were gathered 6228738 together 3162, and went over 56748799, and pitched 25838799 in the valley 6010 of Jezreel 3157.
6:34 But the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 came 38478804 upon Gideon 1439, and he blew 86288799 a trumpet 7782; and Abiezer 44 was gathered 21998735 after 310 him.(came…: Heb. clothed)(gathered: Heb. called)
6:35 And he sent 79718804 messengers 4397 throughout all Manasseh 4519; who also was gathered 21998735 after 310 him: and he sent 79718804 messengers 4397 unto Asher 836, and unto Zebulun 2074, and unto Naphtali 5321; and they came up 59278799 to meet 71258800 them.(gathered: Heb. called)
6:37 Behold, I will put 33228688 a fleece 1492 of wool 6785 in the floor 1637; [and] if the dew 2919 be on the fleece 1492 only, and [it be] dry 2721 upon all the earth 776 [beside], then shall I know 30458804 that thou wilt save 34678686 Israel 3478 by mine hand 3027, as thou hast said 16968765.
6:39 And Gideon 1439 said 5598799 unto God 430, Let not thine anger 639 be hot 27348799 against me, and I will speak 16968762 but this once 6471: let me prove 52548762, I pray thee, but this once 6471 with the fleece 1492; let it now be dry 2721 only upon the fleece 1492, and upon all the ground 776 let there be dew 2919.
6:40 And God 430 did 62138799 so that night 3915: for it was dry 2721 upon the fleece 1492 only, and there was dew 2919 on all the ground 776.
