Judges 6:22-24
New English Translation
22 When Gideon realized[a] that it was the angel of the Lord, he[b] said, “Oh no![c] Sovereign Lord![d] I have seen the angel of the Lord face-to-face!” 23 The Lord said to him, “You are safe![e] Do not be afraid. You are not going to die!” 24 Gideon built an altar for the Lord there, and named it “The Lord is on friendly terms with me.”[f] To this day it is still there in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Judges 6:22-24
New International Version
22 When Gideon realized(A) that it was the angel of the Lord, he exclaimed, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!”(B)
23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace! Do not be afraid.(C) You are not going to die.”(D)
24 So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called(E) it The Lord Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah(F) of the Abiezrites.
