Then
Gideon said to
God,
"If You
will deliver Israel through me, as You have
spoken,
'$.v,y -mia ~yih{l/a'h -l,a !w{[.diG r,ma{Y;w ? 'T.r;BiD r,v]a;K lea'r.fIy -t,a yid'y.B ;[yivw{m

behold, I will
put a
fleece of
wool on the
threshing floor.
If there is
dew on the
fleece only, and it is
dry on
all the
ground, then I will
know that You will
deliver Israel through me, as You have
spoken."

And it was
so. When he
arose early the
next morning and
squeezed the
fleece, he
drained the
dew from the
fleece, a
bowl full of
water.

Then
Gideon said to
God, "Do not let Your
anger burn against me that I may
speak once more;
please let me
make a
test once more with the
fleece, let it
now be
dry only on the
fleece, and let there be
dew on
all the
ground."

God did so that
night; for it was
dry only on the
fleece, and
dew was on
all the
ground.
