Judges 6:25-27
Lexham English Bible
25 Now on that same night Yahweh said to him, “Take the bull of the cattle that belongs to your father, and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah[a] that is beside it; 26 and build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold in the proper arrangement, and take a second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah[b] that you will cut down. 27 Gideon took ten men from his servants, and he did just as Yahweh told him;[c] and because he was too afraid of his father’s family[d] and the men of the city to do it during the day, he did it during night.
