SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:34
Y el espíritu del SEÑOR se envistió en Gedeón, el cual cuando hubo tocado la trompeta, Abiezer se juntó con él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 6:34
Verse 34. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon] He was endued with preternatural courage and wisdom.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon , etc.] Not the spirit of prophecy, as Maimonides f141 , who calls this spirit the first degree of prophecy, but a spirit of fortitude and courage, as the Targum; the Spirit of God filled him, or, as in the Hebrew text, “clothed” him with zeal, strength, and might, moved and animated him to engage with this great body of people come into the land, to ravage and waste it, and to attempt the deliverance of Israel from their bondage: and he blew a trumpet ; as an alarm of war, and as a token to as many as heard to resort to him, and join with him in the common cause against the enemy: and Abiezer was gathered after him ; the Abiezrites, one of the families of the tribe of Manasseh, of which Gideon and his father’s house were; and even it is probable the inhabitants of Ophrah, who were Abiezrites, being now convinced of their idolatry, and having entertained a good opinion of Gideon as a man of valour, and who, in the present emergence, they looked upon as an hopeful instrument of their deliverance, and therefore joined him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-40 - These signs are truly miraculous, and very significant. Gideon and his men were going to fight the Midianites; could God distinguish between small fleece of Israel, and the vast floor of Midian? Gideon is made to know that God could do so. Is Gideon desirous that the dew of Divin grace might come down upon himself in particular? He sees the fleec wet with dew to assure him of it. Does he desire that God will be a the dew to all Israel? Behold, all the ground is wet. What cause we sinners of the Gentiles have, to bless the Lord that the dew of heavenly blessings, once confined to Israel, is now sent to all the inhabitants of the earth! Yet still the means of grace are in differen measures, according to the purposes of God. In the same congregation one man's soul is like Gideon's moistened fleece, another like the dr ground __________________________________________________________________
