Judges 6:16 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 6:16

And the Lord said unto him, surely I will be with thee
The Targum is,

``my Word shall be thy help,''

which was sufficient to answer all objections taken from his meanness, unworthiness, and weakness:

and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man;
all together, and as easily as if thou hadst but one man to deal with, and the destruction be so entire and general that none shall be left.

Judges 6:16 In-Context

14 respexitque ad eum Dominus et ait vade in hac fortitudine tua et liberabis Israhel de manu Madian scito quod miserim te

15 qui respondens ait obsecro Domine mi in quo liberabo Israhel ecce familia mea infima est in Manasse et ego minimus in domo patris mei

16 dixitque ei Dominus ego ero tecum et percuties Madian quasi unum virum

17 et ille si inveni inquit gratiam coram te da mihi signum quod tu sis qui loquaris ad me

18 ne recedas hinc donec revertar ad te portans sacrificium et offerens tibi qui respondit ego praestolabor adventum tuum
