10 and I said to you, "I am the LORD your God; you 1shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But you have not obeyed * Me.""'

Gideon Is Visited

11 Then 2the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the 3Abiezrite as his son 4Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.
12 The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior."
13 Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But 5now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."
14 The LORD looked at him and said, "6Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?"
15 7He said to Him, "O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in 8Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father's house."
16 9But the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man."
17 So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me 10a sign that it is You who speak with me.
18 "Please do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You." And He said, "I will remain until you return."
19 Then Gideon went in and 11prepared a young * goat * and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out to him under the oak and presented them.
20 The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so.

Judges 6:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 6

In this chapter we have an account of the distressed condition Israel was in through the Midianites, Jud 6:1-6, of a prophet being sent unto them to reprieve them for their sins, Jud 6:7-10 of an angel appearing to Gideon, with an order to him to go and save Israel out of the hands of the Midianites, Jud 6:11-16 and of a sign given him by the angel, whereby he knew this order was of God, Jud 6:17-24, and of the reformation from idolatry in his father's family he made upon this, throwing down the altar of Baal, and building one for the Lord, Jud 6:25-32, and of the preparation he made to fight the Midianites and others, Jud 6:33-35, but first desired a sign of the Lord, that Israel would be saved by his hand, which was granted and repeated, Jud 6:36-40.
