Gideon Seeks Confirmation

33

Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people, were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.

34

But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he sounded the trumpet, and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.

35

And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him : and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon, and Nephthali, and they came to meet him.

36

And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

37

I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew in the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.

38

And it was so. And rising before day, wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.

39

And he said again to God: Let not thy wrath be kindled against me, if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew.

40

And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
