Context — The Investigation of Gideon's Actgenerated
Judges 6:29 describes the aftermath of Gideon’s act of tearing down Baal's altar. The townspeople are perplexed and seek to identify the individual responsible for this bold act. Their inquiry leads them to discover that Gideon, the son of Joash, is the one who acted against the idolatrous practices in their community. This moment highlights the tension between faithfulness to God and the prevailing cultural practices of the time.
Cross References
The Key Word — עָשָׂ֖ה, 'a.Sahgenerated
The verb עָשָׂה (asah) means to do or make, and it is a fundamental action word in Hebrew, appearing over 2,600 times in the Bible. It encompasses a broad range of activities, from creating and producing to performing actions and fulfilling tasks.
In this verse, it signifies the act of Gideon in tearing down the altar, marking a significant moment of defiance against idolatry. The use of the perfect tense indicates that this action has been completed, emphasizing the finality of Gideon's deed.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ (they said) governs the main clause, with several phrases hanging off it: a direct question about the identity of the doer, an inquiry about the act, and the eventual identification of Gideon.
The structure emphasizes the communal aspect of the inquiry, as the townspeople engage in dialogue and investigation, reflecting their collective concern over the act done.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb עָשָׂ֖ה is rendered as ἐποίησεν, which also means 'to do' or 'to make'. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the focus on the action taken by Gideon.
The consistency between the Hebrew and Greek suggests a shared understanding of the significance of Gideon's act in both texts.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Judges 6:29 tells us that the men of the city were confused about who destroyed Baal's altar. They asked each other, and after a thorough investigation, they found out that it was Gideon, the son of Joash, who had done it.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The destruction of Baal's altar was a significant act against their religious practices, prompting concern and inquiry among the townspeople.
Gideon's act of tearing down the altar represents a bold stand against idolatry and a commitment to worshiping the true God.
They likely discussed among themselves and sought to gather information about the act, leading to the eventual identification of Gideon.
Their reaction was one of outrage, as they demanded that Joash bring Gideon out to face consequences for his actions.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What are some ways we can stand against cultural practices that conflict with our faith, like Gideon did?
- How can we encourage open dialogue in our communities about difficult topics, as the townspeople did?
- What does this passage teach us about the importance of accountability in our actions?
- In what ways can we seek to understand the motivations behind others' actions before jumping to conclusions?

Read AdamClarke on Judges 6 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges25–32. Gideon overthrows the altar of Baal and receives the name Jerub-baal. This story has no connexion with the preceding narrative Judges 6:11-24; for after Gideon had built the altar Jehovah-shalom (Judges 6:24), it is not likely that he would have been told to build another altar at once and in the same place (Judges 6:26). So far as any antecedents of the story exist they are to be found in Judges 6:7-10, which denounce the worship of Canaanite (‘Amorite’) gods.

A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.6.11;
son of: Joash (H3101);
father of: Jether (H3500), Abimelech (H0040H) and Jotham (H3147); also called Jerubbaal at Jdg.6.32; 7.1; 8.29,35; 9.1,2,5,16,19,24,28,57; 1xJerubbesheth at 2Sa.11.21;

N-proper — Noun proper masculineHNpm
gid'-e-un (gidh`on, "cutter down," "feller" or "hewer"):
1. His Family and Home:
Also named Jerubbaal (Jud 6:32) and Jerubbesheth (2Sa 11:21), youngest son of Joash, of the clan of Abiezer in the tribe of Manasseh. His home was at Ophrah, and his family an obscure one. He became the chief leader of Manasseh and the fifth recorded judge of Israel. The record of his life is found in Jud 6-8.
Joash was an idolater, and sacrifices to Baal were common among the entire clan. Gideon seems to have held this worship in contempt, and to have pondered deeply the causes of Israel's reverses and the injuries wrought upon his own family by the hand of the Midianites.
2. The Midianite Oppression:
Gideon
Called also Jerubbaal (Judg. 6:29, 32), was the first of the judges whose history is circumstantially narrated (Judg. 6-8). His calling is the commencement of the second period in the history of the judges. After the victory gained by Deborah and Barak over Jabin, Israel once more sank into idolatry, and the Midianites (q.v.) and Amalekites, with other “children of the east,” crossed the Jordan each year for seven successive years for the purpose of plundering and desolating the land. Gideon received a direct call from God to undertake the task of delivering the land from these warlike invaders. He was of the family of Abiezer (Josh. 17:2; 1 Chr. 7:18), and of the little township of Ophrah (
(he that cuts down), youngest son of Joash of the Abiezrites, an undistinguished family who lived at Ophrah, a town probably on the west of Jordan, (Judges 6:15) in the territory of Manasseh, near Shechem. He was the fifth recorded judge of Israel, and for many reasons the greatest of them all. When we first hear of him he was grown up and had sons, (Judges 6:11; 8:20) and from the apostrophe of the angel, ch. (Judges 6:12) we may conclude that he had already distinguished himself in war against the roving bands of nomadic robbers who had oppressed Israel for seven years. When the angel appeared, Gideon was threshing wheat with a flail in the wine-press, to conceal it from the predatory tyrants. His call to be a deliverer, and…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

After his father’s sister Jehoshabeath, the wife of Jehoiada the high priest, had stolen him from among the king’s sons, he was hidden for six years in the chambers of the temple. In the seventh year of his age and of his concealment, a successful revolution, conducted by Jehoiada, placed him on the throne of his ancestors, and freed the country from the tyranny and idolatries of Athaliah. For at least twenty-three years, while Jehoiada lived, his reign was very prosperous; but after the death of Jehoiada, Joash fell into the hands of bad advisers, at whose suggestion he revived the worship of Baal and Ashtaroth. When he was rebuked for this by Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, Joash caused him to be stoned…
