Jueces 6:38 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 6:38

And it was so
The Lord condescended to work this miracle for the confirmation of his faith, and for the encouragement of those that were with him; the fleece was wet with the dew of heaven, and all the ground about it dry:

for he rose up early in the morning;
being eagerly desirous of knowing whether his request would be granted, and how it would be with the fleece:

and thrust the fleece together;
to satisfy himself whether the dew had fallen on it, and there was any moisture in it, which by being squeezed together he would more easily perceive:

and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water;
so that it appeared it had not only fallen on it, but it had taken in a large quantity of it; the word here used is the same as in ( Judges 5:25 ) (See Gill on Judges 5:25); the Targum calls it a flagon.

Jueces 6:38 In-Context

36 Gede贸n le dijo a Dios: 芦Si has de salvar a Israel por mi conducto, como has prometido,
37 mira, tender茅 un vell贸n de lana en la era, sobre el suelo. Si el roc铆o cae solo sobre el vell贸n y todo el suelo alrededor queda seco, entonces sabr茅 que salvar谩s a Israel por mi conducto, como prometiste禄.
38 Y as铆 sucedi贸. Al d铆a siguiente Gede贸n se levant贸 temprano, exprimi贸 el vell贸n para sacarle el roc铆o, y llen贸 una taza de agua.
39 Entonces Gede贸n le dijo a Dios: 芦No te enojes conmigo. D茅jame hacer solo una petici贸n m谩s. Perm铆teme hacer una prueba m谩s con el vell贸n. Esta vez haz que solo el vell贸n quede seco, y que todo el suelo quede cubierto de roc铆o禄.
40 As铆 lo hizo Dios aquella noche. Solo el vell贸n qued贸 seco, mientras que todo el suelo estaba cubierto de roc铆o.
