Judges 6:33-40
1599 Geneva Bible
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites, and they of the East, were gathered together, and went and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord [a]came upon Gideon (A)and he blew a trumpet, and [b]Abiezer was joined with him.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, which was also joined with him, and he sent messengers unto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.
36 Then Gideon said unto God, [c]If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the threshing place: if the dew come on the fleece only and it be dry upon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 And so it was: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowl of water.
39 Again, Gideon said unto God, Be not angry with me, that (B)I may speak once more: let me prove once again, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and let dew be upon all the ground.
40 And God did so the same night: for it was [d]dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
