1Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; so He delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years,
“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.”
“and the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years.”
“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.”
“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.”
“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.”
2and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.
“The power of Midian prevailed against Israel because of Midian, the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains, and the caves and the strongholds.”
“And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. And because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made them dens, which are in the mountains and caves and”

“And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. And because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, in caves and”
“of Midian, prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian, the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.”
3Whenever the Israelites would plant their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east would come up and invade them,
“and so it was when Israel had Sown that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the east even they came up against them”
“And so it was when Israel had sown that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the east, even they came up against them.”
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the East, even they came up against them.”
“And so it was when Israel Sown that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the east even they came up against them”
“For it was when Israel had sown, the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites, the sons of the east, and go against them.”
“So it was when Israel had sown their seed that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the east, and they came up against them.”
4encamping against them as far as Gaza and destroying the produce of the land. They left Israel with no sustenance, neither sheep nor oxen nor donkeys.
“And they encamped against them and destroyed the increase of the earth till you come to Gaza and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor ass.”
5For the Midianites came with their livestock and their tents like a great swarm of locusts. They and their camels were innumerable, and they entered the land to ravage it.
“For they came up with their cattle and their tents and they came as grasshoppers for multitude. For both they and their camels were without number and they entered into the land to destroy it.”
“For they came up with their cattle and their tents and they came as grasshoppers for multitude for both they and their camels were without number and they entered into the land to destroy it”
“For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude. For they and their camels were without number, and they entered into the land to destroy it.”
“For they came up with their cattle in their tents and they came as grasshoppers for multitude for both they and their camels were without number and they entered into the land to destroy it”
“For they came up with their cattle in their tents and they came as grasshoppers for multitude. For both they and their camels were without number and they entered into the land to destroy it.”
“They would come up with their livestock and their tents. They'd come in like locusts for number. Both they and their camels were innumerable. They came into the land to devastate it.”
6Israel was greatly impoverished by Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the LORD.
“and Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord”
“And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.”
“and Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.”
“and Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.”
“So Israel was brought very low because of Midian. And the sons of Israel cried to the Lord.”
“and Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites and the children of Israel Cried unto the Lord.”
7Now when the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian,
“And it came to pass when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites”
“And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites,”
“And it came to pass when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites”
“And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,”
“and it came to pass when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because the Midianites”
“And it came to pass that the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites.”
8He sent them a prophet, who told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
“that the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt and I brought you forth out of the house of bondage”

“the Lord sent a prophet to the people of Israel. He said to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, I led you up from Egypt. I brought you out of the house of slavery.”
9I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
“and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all that oppressed you and drove them out from before you and gave you their land.”
“And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land.”
“and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of The all that oppressed you and I draved them out from before you and I gave you their land.”
“I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians. And out of the hand of all that oppressed you. And draved them out from before you and gave you their land.”
“I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all who oppressed you. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.”
10And I said to you: 'I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.' But you did not obey Me."
“And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God. Fear not the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell, but ye have not obeyed my voice.”
“land. I said to you, I am the Lord your God. You shall not fear the God of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But you have not obeyed me.”
“And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God. Fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not obeyed my voice.”
“And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God. Fear not the gods of Amorites in whose land ye dwell. But you have not obeyed my voice.”
11Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
“Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress in order to hide it from the Midianites.”
“Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terabinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Absarite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.”
“And there came an angel of the Lord and sat under an oak, which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Ibersrite. Sounds close enough. And his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.”
“And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak, which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Ebbe Ezraite, and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.”
12And the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, "The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor."
“and the angel of the Lord appeared unto him and said unto him the Lord is with thee thou mighty man of valor”
“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him and said unto him. The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.”
“"...the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior.”
“And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, the Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.”
“and the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, the Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.”
“and the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him The Lord is with you you mighty man of Valor.”
13"Please, my Lord," Gideon replied, "if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders of which our fathers told us, saying, 'Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt?' But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of Midian."
“And Gideon said unto him, O my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all his miracles, which our fathers told us of, saying, did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord hath…”
“And Gideon said unto him, O my LORD, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all his miracles, which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now the LORD hath…”
“Gideon said to him Oh 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 now the Lord has…”
“And Gideon said unto him, O my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befalling us? And where be all his miracles, which our fathers told of us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord hath…”
“And Gideon said to him, Please, sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us? So Gideon remembered these wonderful deeds, saying, did…”
“Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the Lord's with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord's abandoned us…”
14The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?"
“And the Lord looked upon him and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have not I sent thee?”
“And the Lord looked upon him and said, go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have not I sent thee?”
“And the Lord turned to him and said, Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Do not I send you?”
“the Lord looked at him and said, Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
“And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have not I sent thee?”
“Then the Lord turned to him and said Go in this might of yours and you Shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you.”
15"Please, my Lord," Gideon replied, "how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father's house."
“And he said to him, Please, Lord, how? How? How can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.”
“And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.”
“And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.”

“And he said unto him, O my LORD, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.”
16"Surely I will be with you," the LORD replied, "and you will strike down all the Midianites as one man."
“And THE Lord said unto him surely I will be with thee and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.”
“And the Lord said unto him, surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.”
“and the Lord said unto him surely I will be with thee and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.”
“And the Lord said unto him. Surely I will be with thee. And thou shalt smite the Midianites. As one man.”
“And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.”
“and the Lord said to him Surely I will be with you and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
17Gideon answered, "If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that it is You speaking with me.
“And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.”
“And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.”
“And he said unto him, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.”
“And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.”
“And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.”
“Then he said to him if now I have found favor in your sight then show me a sign That it is you Who talks with me?”
18Please do not depart from this place until I return to You. Let me bring my offering and set it before You." And the LORD said, "I will stay until you return."
“Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.”
“Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will carry until thou come again.”
“Depart not, hence I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring my presence, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.”
“Please do not depart from here until I come back to you and bring my offering and lay it before you. And he said, I will remain till you return.”
19So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread and an ephah of flour. He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and brought them out to present to Him under the oak.
“And Gideon went in and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephor of flour. The flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.”
“And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour, the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.”
“And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened capes of an ephah of flour. The flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the yoke, and presented it.”
“Gideon went into his house and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an eave -half of flour. The meat he put in a basket. And the broth he put in a pot. And brought them to him under the terebinth and presented them.”
20And the angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And Gideon did so.
“And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.”
“And the angel of God said to him, Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them on this rock and pour the broth over them. And he did so.”
“And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened capes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.”
“And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.”
“and the angel of God said unto him Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes and lay them on the rock and pour out the broth and so he did so”
“and presented it. The angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cake, lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.”
21Then the angel of the LORD extended the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. And fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.
“Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And there rose up fire out of the rock, consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of…”
“Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and he touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. And fire sprang up from the rock. Consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the…”

22When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he said, "Oh no, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!"
“and when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God, for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.”
“And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God, for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.”
“And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God, for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.”
“And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, alas, O Lord God, for because I have seen an angel, the Lord, face to face.”
“Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord. Gideon said, alas! O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.”
23But the LORD said to him, "Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die."
“and the Lord said unto Him, Peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shalt not die.”
“and the Lord said unto him, peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shalt not die.”
“the Lord said to him, Peace to you. Do not fear, you shall not die.”
“And the Lord said unto him. Peace be unto thee. Fear not. Thou shalt not die.”
“And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee. Fear not, thou shalt not die.”
“And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shalt not die.”
24So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25On that very night the LORD said to Gideon, "Take your father's young bull and a second bull seven years old, tear down your father's altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
“And it came to pass the same night that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by…”
“That night, the Lord said to him, Take your father's bull, and the second bull, seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has. And cut down the Asherah that is beside it.”
“And it came to pass the same night that the Lord said unto him, take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath and cut down the grove that is by it”
“And it came to pass the same night that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by…”
“Now it came to pass the same night that the Lord said to him, here comes the problem. Take your father's young bull, the second bull of seven years old and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has and cut down the wooden…”
“Came to pass the same night that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal, that thy father hath cut down the grove that is by it.”
26Then build a proper altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold. And with the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down, take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering."
“And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock in the ordered place. And take the second bullock and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.”
“and build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock in the ordered place and take the second bullock and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt cut down.”
“And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.”
“And build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah so that you shall cut down.”
“and build an altar unto the Lord, thy God, upon the top of this rock in the ordered place and take the second bullet and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt cut down.”
“and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this rock in a proper arrangement and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.”
27So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the daytime.
“Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him. And so it was, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.”
“Gideon took ten men of his servants. And did as the Lord had spoken unto him. And because he was too afraid of his father's household. And the men of the city to do it by day. He did it by night.”
“so Gideon took ten men from among the servants and did as the Lord had told him. Now watch this. But because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.”
28When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was Baal's altar torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.
“"...when the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar that had been built.”
“when the men of the city rose early in the morning. Behold the altar of Baal was cast down and the grove was cut down that was by it and the second bullock was offered upon. The altar that was built”
“And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, and, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built,”
“and when the men of the city rose up early in the morning behold the altar of Bell was cast down and the grove was cut down that Was by it and a second Bullock was offered upon the altar that was built”
“And when the men of the city arose early in the morning behold the altar of Baal was cast down and the gold was cut down. That was by it. And the second billet was offered upon the altar that was built.”
29"Who did this?" they said to one another. And after they had investigated thoroughly, they were told, "Gideon son of Joash did it."
“They said to one another, who has done this thing? And after they had searched and inquired, they said, Gideon, the son of Joash, has done this thing.”
“they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.”
“and they said one to another who have done this thing. And when they enquired and asked they said Gideon the son of Joash have done this thing.”
30Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son. He must die, because he has torn down Baal's altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it."
“Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.”
“the men of the city said unto Joash bring out thy son that he may die because he hath cast down the altar of Baal. And because he hath cut down the gold that was by it.”
31But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Are you contending for Baal? Are you trying to save him? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself with the one who has torn down his altar."
“And Joash said unto all that stood against him will ye plead for Baal? Will ye save him? He that will plead for him. Let him be put to death while it is yet morning. If he be a god let him plead for himself. Because one hath cast…”
“But Joash, his father, said to all who stood against him, will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar…”
“And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? Will ye see of him? He that will plead for him, let him be put to death while it is yet morning. If he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath…”
32So on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, "Let Baal contend with him," because he had torn down Baal's altar.
“Therefore, on that day, Gideon was called Jerubabel. That is to say, let Baal contend against him because he broke down his altar.".”
“Therefore on that day he called him Jerubeel, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.”
33Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east gathered together, crossed over the Jordan, and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
“Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together and they went over and pitched in the valley of Jezreel”
“Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the East were gathered together and went over and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.”

“Now all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came together. They crossed the Jordan and camped in the valley of Jezreel.”
34So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, who blew the ram's horn and rallied the Abiezrites behind him.
“so the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon. He blew a trumpet and the Abizrites were called together to follow Him.”
“But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was gathered after him.”
“But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon and he blew a trumpet. And Abiezer was gathered after him.”
“But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon and he blew a trumpet and Abbeys or Was gathered after him”

35Calling them to arms, Gideon sent messengers throughout Manasseh, as well as Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, so that they came up to meet him.
“and he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh who also was gathered after him and he sent messengers unto Asher and unto Zebulun and unto Naphtali and they came up to meet”

36Then Gideon said to God, "If You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said,
“And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand as thou hast said.”
“Then Gideon said to God, If You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said,”
“Gideon said to God, If You will deliver Israel through me as You have spoken,”
“and Gideon said unto God if thou wilt save Israel by my hand as thou hast said”
“them. And Gideon said unto God if you will save Israel by my hand as you have said”
37then behold, I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said."
“Behold I will put a fleece of wool in the floor. And if the dew be on the fleece only and it be dry upon all the earth beside. Then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand as thou hast said.”

38And that is what happened. When Gideon arose the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
“And it was so. And when he arose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he drained the dew from the fleece, a bowl full of water.”
“And it was so. For He rose up early on the morrow and thrust the fleece together and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.”

39Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew."
“Then Gideon said to God, Let not Your anger burn against me. Let me speak just once more. Please. Let me test just once more with the fleece. Please let it be dry on the fleece only and on all the ground. Let there be dew.”
“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.”
“and Gideon said to God let not that anger be hot against me and I will speak but this once let me prove I pray thee but this once with the fleece let it now be dry only upon the fleece and upon all the ground let there be dew”
40And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.
“and God did so that night for it was dry upon the fleece only and there was dew on the ground.”
“And God did so that night for it was dry upon the fleece only. And there was dew upon the ground.”
