²⁵ Now it came to pass the same night that the Lord said to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and ^(A)tear down the altar of ^(B)Baal that your father has, and ^(C)cut down the ^[a]wooden image that is beside it; ²⁶ and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this ^[b]rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.” ²⁷ So Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the Lord had said to him. But because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.
