  6:1 ¶
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian{gr.Madiam} seven years. |
|
6:1 ¶
And the children°
of Israel°
did°°
evil°
in the sight°
of Yahweh:°
and Yahweh°
delivered°°
them into the hand°
of Midian°
seven°
years.° |
|
6:2
And the hand of Midian{gr.Madiam} prevailed against Israel: and the children of Israel made for themselves because of Midian{gr.Madiam} the caves in the mountains, and the dens, and the holes in the rocks. |
|
6:2
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,°
and caves,°
and strong holds.° |
|
6:3
And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Midian{gr.Madiam} and Amalek{gr.Amalec} went up, and the children of the east went up together with them. |
|
6:3
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; |
|
6:4
And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass among the herds. |
|
6:4
And they encamped°°
against°
them, and destroyed°°°
the increase°
of the earth,°
till°
thou come°°
unto Gaza,°
and left°°
no°
sustenance°
for Israel,°
neither sheep,°
nor ox,°
nor ass.° |
|
6:5
For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste. |
|
6:5
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. |
|
6:6
And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Midian{gr.Madiam}. |
|
6:6
And Israel°
was greatly°
impoverished°°
because°°
of the Midianites;°
and the children°
of Israel°
cried°°
unto°
Yahweh.° |
|
6:7 ¶
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Midian{gr.Madiam}. |
|
6:7 ¶
And it came to pass,°
when°
the children°
of Israel°
cried°°
unto°
Yahweh°
because°
of°°
the Midianites,° |
|
6:8
And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage. |
|
6:8
That Yahweh°
sent°°
a prophet°°
unto°
the children°
of Israel,°
which said°°
unto them, Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
I°
brought you up°°°
from Egypt,°°
and brought you forth°°°
out of the house°°
of bondage;° |
|
6:9
And I delivered you out of the hand of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land. |
|
6:9
And I delivered°°
you out of the hand°°
of the Egyptians,°
and out of the hand°°
of all°
that oppressed°°
you, and drave them out°°°
from before°°
you, and gave°°
you°
their land;° |
|
6:10
And I said to you, I [am] the Lord your God: ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but ye hearkened not to my voice. |
|
6:10
And I said°°
unto you, I°
[am] Yahweh°
your Elohim;°
fear°°
not°°
the elohim°
of the Amorites,°
in whose°
land°
ye°
dwell:°°
but ye have not°
obeyed°°
my voice.° |
|
6:11 ¶
And an angel of the Lord came, and sat down under the fir tree, which was in Ephrath{gr.Ephratha} in the land of Joash{gr.Joas} father of Esdri; and Gideon{gr.Gedeon} his son [was] threshing wheat in a wine-press in order to escape from the face of Midian{gr.Madiam}. |
|
6:11 ¶
And there came°°
an angel°
of Yahweh,°
and sat°°
under°
an oak°
which°
[was] in Ophrah,°
that°
[pertained] unto Joash°
the Abiezrite:°
and his son°
Gideon°
threshed°°
wheat°
by the winepress,°
to hide°°
[it] from°°
the Midianites.° |
|
6:12
And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord [is] with thee, thou mighty in strength. |
|
6:12
And the angel°
of Yahweh°
appeared°°
unto°
him, and said°°
unto°
him, Yahweh°
[is] with°
thee, thou mighty°
man°
of valour.° |
|
6:13
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: but if the Lord is with us, why have these evils found us? and where are all his miracles, which our fathers have related to us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}? and now he has cast us out, and given us into the hand of Midian{gr.Madiam}. |
|
6:13
And Gideon°
said°°
unto°
him, Oh°
my adon,°
if°
Yahweh°
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°
Yahweh°
bring us up°°
from Egypt?°°
but now°
Yahweh°
hath forsaken°°
us, and delivered°°
us into the hands°
of the Midianites.° |
|
6:14
And the angel of the Lord turned to him, and said, Go in this thy strength, and thou shalt save Israel out of the hand of Midian{gr.Madiam}: behold, I have sent thee. |
|
6:14
And Yahweh°
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? |
|
6:15
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasseh{gr.Manasse}, and I am the least in my father's house. |
|
6:15
And he said°°
unto°
him, Oh°
Yahweh,°
wherewith°
shall I save°°°
Israel?°
behold,°
my family°°°
[is] poor°
in Manasseh,°
and I°
[am] the least°
in my father's°
house.° |
|
6:16
And the angel of the Lord said to him, The Lord shall be with thee, and thou shalt smite Midian{gr.Madiam} as one man. |
|
6:16
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
him, Surely°
I will be°
with°
thee, and thou shalt smite°°°
the Midianites°
as one°
man.° |
|
6:17
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to him, If now I have found mercy in thine eyes, and thou wilt do this day for me all that thou hast spoken of with me, |
|
6:17
And he said°°
unto°
him, If°
now°
I have found°°
grace°
in thy sight,°
then shew°°
me a sign°
that thou°°
talkest°°
with°
me. |
|
6:18
depart not hence until I come to thee, and I will bring forth an offering and offer it before thee: and he said, I will remain until thou return. |
|
6:18
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.°° |
|
6:19 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} went in, and prepared a kid of the goats, and an ephah of fine flour unleavened; and he put the flesh in the basket, and poured the broth into the pot, and brought them forth to him under the turpentine tree, and drew nigh. |
|
6:19 ¶
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]. |
|
6:20
And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and put them on that rock, and pour out the broth close by: and he did so. |
|
6:20
And the angel°
of Elohim°
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.° |
|
6:21 ¶
And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. |
|
6:21 ¶
Then the angel°
of Yahweh°
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,°
and consumed°°°
the flesh°
and the unleavened cakes.°
Then the angel°
of Yahweh°
departed°°
out of his sight.°° |
|
6:22
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} saw that he was an angel of the Lord; and Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said, Ah, ah, Lord my God! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. |
|
6:22
And when Gideon°
perceived°°
that°
he°
[was] an angel°
of Yahweh,°
Gideon°
said,°°
Alas,°
O Adonai°
Yahweh!°
for°
because°°
I have seen°°
an angel°
of Yahweh°
face°
to°
face.° |
|
6:23
And the Lord said to him, Peace be to thee, fear not, thou shalt not die. |
|
6:23
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto him, Peace°
[be] unto thee; fear°°
not:°
thou shalt not°
die.°° |
|
6:24
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} built there an altar to the Lord, and called it The peace of the Lord, until this day, as it is still in Ephrath{gr.Ephratha} of the father of Esdri. |
|
6:24
Then Gideon°
built°°
an altar°
there°
unto Yahweh,°
and called°°
it Yahweh Shalom:°
unto°
this°
day°
it [is] yet°
in Ophrah°
of the Abiezrites.° |
|
6:25 ¶
And it came to pass in that night, that the Lord said to him, Take the young bullock which thy father has, even the second bullock of seven years old, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal which thy father has, and the grove which is by it thou shalt destroy. |
|
6:25 ¶
And it came to pass°
the same°
night,°
that Yahweh°
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: |
|
6:26
And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God on the top of this Maozi in the ordering [it], and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer up whole-burnt-offerings with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt destroy. |
|
6:26
And build°°
an altar°
unto Yahweh°
thy Elohim°
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.°° |
|
6:27
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord spoke to him: and it came to pass, as he feared the house of his father and the men of the city if he should do it by day, that he did it by night. |
|
6:27
Then Gideon°
took°°
ten°
men°°
of his servants,°°
and did°°
as°
Yahweh°
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.° |
|
6:28 ¶
And the men of the city rose up early in the morning; and behold, the altar of Baal had been demolished, and the grove by it had been destroyed; and they saw the second bullock, which Gideon{gr.Gedeon} offered on the altar that had been built. |
|
6:28 ¶
And when the men°°
of the city°
arose 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.°° |
|
6:29
And a man said to his neighbour, Who has done this thing? and they enquired and searched, and learnt that Gideon{gr.Gedeon} the son of Joash{gr.Joas} had done this thing. |
|
6:29
And they said°°
one°
to°
another,°
Who°
hath done°°
this°
thing?°
And when they enquired°°
and asked,°°
they said,°°
Gideon°
the son°
of Joash°
hath done°°
this°
thing.° |
|
6:30
And the men of the city said to Joash{gr.Joas}, Bring out thy son, and let him die, because he has destroyed the altar of Baal, and because he has destroyed the grove that is by it. |
|
6:30
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. |
|
6:31
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} the son of Joash{gr.Joas} said to all the men who rose up against him, Do ye now plead for Baal, or will ye save him? whoever will plead for him, let him be slain this morning: if he be a god let him plead for himself, [because] one has thrown down his altar. |
|
6:31
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°°
whilst°
[it is yet] morning:°
if°
he°
[be] an elohim,°
let him plead°°
for himself, because°
[one] hath cast down°°°
his altar.° |
|
6:32
And he called it in that day Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal}, saying, Let Baal plead thereby, because his altar has been thrown down. |
|
6:32
Therefore on that°
day°
he called°°
him Jerubbaal,°
saying,°°
Let Baal°
plead°°
against him, because°
he hath thrown down°°°
his altar.° |
|
6:33 ¶
And all Midian{gr.Madiam}, and Amalek, and the sons of the east gathered themselves together, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}. |
|
6:33 ¶
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.° |
|
6:34
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon{gr.Gedeon}, and he blew with the horn, and Abiezer came to help after him. |
|
6:34
But the Spirit°
of Yahweh°
came°°
upon°°
Gideon,°
and he blew°°
a trumpet;°
and Abiezer°
was gathered°°
after°
him. |
|
6:35
And [Gideon{gr.Gedeon}] sent messengers into all Manasseh{gr.Manasse}, and into Asher{gr.Aser}, and into Zebulun{gr.Zabulon}, and into Naphtali{gr.Nephthali}; and he went up to meet them. |
|
6:35
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°°
them. |
|
6:36 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said, |
|
6:36 ¶
And Gideon°
said°°
unto°
Elohim,°
If°
thou°
wilt°
save°°°
Israel°
by mine hand,°
as°
thou hast said,°° |
|
6:37
behold, I put the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and drought on all the ground, I shall know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said. |
|
6:37
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.°° |
|
6:38
And it was so: and he rose up early in the morning, and wrung the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water. |
|
6:38
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.° |
|
6:39
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to God, Let not, I pray thee, thine anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground. |
|
6:39
And Gideon°
said°°
unto°
Elohim,°
Let not°
thine 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.° |
|
6:40
And God did so in that night; and there was drought on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew. |
|
6:40
And Elohim°
did°°
so°
that°
night:°
for it was°
dry°
upon°
the fleece°
only,°
and there was°
dew°
on°
all°
the ground.° |
