Judges 6:36-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁶ Gideon said to God, “If you intend to save Israel by my hands, as you have told me, ³⁷ then I will put a wool fleece on the floor. If there is dew on the fleece itself, but the ground around it is dry, then I will know that you are going to save Israel by my hands, as you said.” ³⁸ Gideon got up early the next morning. He squeezed the fleece, and dew flowed out of the fleece, producing a bowl full of water.

³⁹ Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me if I make this request. Let me test the fleece one more time. This time let the fleece remain dry and the ground all around it be covered with dew.” ⁴⁰ This is what God did that night. Only the fleece was dry, for there was dew on the ground that surrounded it.
