Judges 6:19-21
New English Translation
19 Gideon went and prepared a young goat,[a] along with unleavened bread made from an ephah of flour. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot. He brought the food[b] to him under the oak tree and presented it to him. 20 God’s angel said to him, “Put the meat and unleavened bread on this rock,[c] and pour out the broth.” Gideon did as instructed.[d] 21 The angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of his staff.[e] Fire flared up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread. The angel of the Lord then disappeared.[f]

New International Version
19 Gideon went inside, prepared a young goat,(A) and from an ephah[a](B) of flour he made bread without yeast. Putting the meat in a basket and its broth in a pot, he brought them out and offered them to him under the oak.(C)
20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock,(D) and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so. 21 Then the angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread(E) with the tip of the staff(F) that was in his hand. Fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the Lord disappeared.
