Judg 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.

wəhāyāh ’im-zāra‘ yiśərā’ēl wə‘ālāh miḏəyān wa‘ămālēq ûḇənê-qeḏem wə‘ālû ‘ālāyw

Judg 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;

wayyaḥănû ‘ălêhem wayyašəḥîṯû ’eṯ-yəḇûl hā’āreṣ ‘aḏ-bô’ăḵā ‘azzāh wəlō’-yašə’îrû miḥəyāh bəyiśərā’ēl wəśeh wāšôr waḥămôr

Judg 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.

kî hēm ûmiqənêhem ya‘ălû wə’āhŏlêhem ûḇā’û ḵəḏê-’arəbeh lārōḇ wəlāhem wəlig̱əmallêhem ’ên misəpār wayyāḇō’û ḇā’āreṣ ləšaḥăṯāhh

Judg 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.

wayyiddal yiśərā’ēl mə’ōḏ mippənê miḏəyān wayyizə‘ăqû ḇənê-yiśərā’ēl ’el-yəhwāh

Judg 6:6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

wayəhî kî-zā‘ăqû ḇənê-yiśərā’ēl ’el-yəhwāh ‘al ’ōḏôṯ miḏəyān

Judg 6:7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,

wayyišəlaḥ yəhwāh ’îš nāḇî’ ’el-bənê yiśərā’ēl wayyō’mer lāhem kōh-’āmar yəhwāh ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl ’ānōḵî he‘ĕlêṯî ’eṯəḵem mimmiṣərayim wā’ōṣî’ ’eṯəḵem mibbêṯ ‘ăḇāḏîm

Judg 6:8 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 brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

wā’aṣṣil ’eṯəḵem miyyaḏ miṣərayim ûmiyyaḏ kāl-lōḥăṣêḵem wā’ăg̱ārēš ’ôṯām mippənêḵem wā’ettənāh lāḵem ’eṯ-’arəṣām

Judg 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;

wā’ōmərāh lāḵem ’ănî yəhwāh ’ĕlōhêḵem lō’ ṯîrə’û ’eṯ-’ĕlōhê hā’ĕmōrî ’ăšer ’attem yôšəḇîm bə’arəṣām wəlō’ šəma‘ətem bəqôlî

Judg 6:10 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.

Judg 6:11 And there came an angel of the LORD, 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.

wayyērā’ ’ēlāyw malə’aḵ yəhwāh wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw yəhwāh ‘imməḵā gibbôr heḥāyil

Judg 6:12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

Judg 6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh 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 forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

Judg 6:14 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?

wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw bî ’ăḏōnāy bammāh ’ôšîa‘ ’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl hinnēh ’aləpî haddal bimənaššeh wə’ānōḵî haṣṣā‘îr bəḇêṯ ’āḇî

Judg 6:15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw yəhwāh kî ’ehəyeh ‘immāḵ wəhikkîṯā ’eṯ-miḏəyān kə’îš ’eḥāḏ

Judg 6:16 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw ’im-nā’ māṣā’ṯî ḥēn bə‘êneyḵā wə‘āśîṯā llî ’ôṯ šā’attāh məḏabbēr ‘immî

Judg 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.

’al-nā’ ṯāmuš mizzeh ‘aḏ-bō’î ’ēleyḵā wəhōṣē’ṯî ’eṯ-minəḥāṯî wəhinnaḥətî ləp̱āneyḵā wayyō’mar ’ānōḵî ’ēšēḇ ‘aḏ šûḇeḵā

Judg 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.

Judg 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.

wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw malə’aḵ hā’ĕlōhîm qaḥ ’eṯ-habbāśār wə’eṯ-hammaṣṣôṯ wəhannaḥ ’el-hassela‘ hallāz wə’eṯ-hammāraq šəp̱ôḵ wayya‘aś kēn

Judg 6:20 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.

wayyišəlaḥ malə’aḵ yəhwāh ’eṯ-qəṣēh hammišə‘eneṯ ’ăšer bəyāḏô wayyigga‘ babbāśār ûḇammaṣṣôṯ watta‘al hā’ēš min-haṣṣûr wattō’ḵal ’eṯ-habbāśār wə’eṯ-hammaṣṣôṯ ûmalə’aḵ yəhwāh hālaḵ mē‘ênāyw

Judg 6:21 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, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

Judg 6:22 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.

wayyō’mer lô yəhwāh šālôm ləḵā ’al-tîrā’ lō’ tāmûṯ

Judg 6:23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

Judg 6:24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

wayəhî ballayəlāh hahû’ wayyō’mer lô yəhwāh qaḥ ’eṯ-par-haššôr ’ăšer lə’āḇîḵā ûp̱ar haššēnî šeḇa‘ šānîm wəhārasətā ’eṯ-mizəbaḥ habba‘al ’ăšer lə’āḇîḵā wə’eṯ-hā’ăšērāh ’ăšer-‘ālāyw tiḵərōṯ

Judg 6:25 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:

ûḇānîṯā mizəbēaḥ layhwāh ’ĕlōheyḵā ‘al rō’š hammā‘ôz hazzeh bamma‘ărāḵāh wəlāqaḥətā ’eṯ-happār haššēnî wəha‘ălîṯā ‘ôlāh ba‘ăṣê hā’ăšērāh ’ăšer tiḵərōṯ

Judg 6:26 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.

wayyiqqaḥ giḏə‘ôn ‘ăśārāh ’ănāšîm mē‘ăḇāḏāyw wayya‘aś ka’ăšer dibber ’ēlāyw yəhwāh wayəhî ka’ăšer yārē’ ’eṯ-bêṯ ’āḇîw wə’eṯ-’anəšê hā‘îr mē‘ăśôṯ yômām wayya‘aś lāyəlāh

Judg 6:27 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.

wayyašəkîmû ’anəšê hā‘îr babbōqer wəhinnēh nuttaṣ mizəbaḥ habba‘al wəhā’ăšērāh ’ăšer-‘ālāyw kōrāṯāh wə’ēṯ happār haššēnî hō‘ălāh ‘al-hammizəbēaḥ habbānûy

Judg 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.

wayyō’mərû ’îš ’el-rē‘ēhû mî ‘āśāh haddāḇār hazzeh wayyiḏərəšû wayəḇaqəšû wayyō’mərû giḏə‘ôn ben-yô’āš ‘āśāh haddāḇār hazzeh

Judg 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.

wayyō’mərû ’anəšê hā‘îr ’el-yô’āš hôṣē’ ’eṯ-binəḵā wəyāmōṯ kî nāṯaṣ ’eṯ-mizəbaḥ habba‘al wəḵî ḵāraṯ hā’ăšērāh ’ăšer-‘ālāyw

Judg 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.

wayyō’mer yô’āš ləḵōl ’ăšer-‘āməḏû ‘ālāyw ha’attem tərîḇûn labba‘al ’im-’attem tôšî‘ûn ’ôṯô ’ăšer yārîḇ lô yûmaṯ ‘aḏ-habbōqer ’im-’ĕlōhîm hû’ yāreḇ lô kî nāṯaṣ ’eṯ-mizəbəḥô

Judg 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 a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

wayyiqərā’-lô ḇayyôm-hahû’ yərubba‘al lē’mōr yāreḇ bô habba‘al kî nāṯaṣ ’eṯ-mizəbəḥô

Judg 6:32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

Judg 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.

wərûaḥ yəhwāh lāḇəšāh ’eṯ-giḏə‘ôn wayyiṯəqa‘ baššôp̱ār wayyizzā‘ēq ’ăḇî‘ezer ’aḥărāyw

Judg 6:34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

Judg 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.

Judg 6:36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

Judg 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.

wayəhî-ḵēn wayyašəkēm mimmāḥŏrāṯ wayyāzar ’eṯ-haggizzāh wayyimeṣ ṭal min-haggizzāh məlô’ hassēp̱el māyim

Judg 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.

wayyō’mer giḏə‘ôn ’el-hā’ĕlōhîm ’al-yiḥar ’appəḵā bî wa’ăḏabbərāh ’aḵ happā‘am ’ănasseh nnā’-raq-happa‘am baggizzāh yəhî-nā’ ḥōreḇ ’el-haggizzāh ləḇaddāhh wə‘al-kāl-hā’āreṣ yihəyeh-ṭṭāl

Judg 6:39 And Gideon said unto God, 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.

wayya‘aś ’ĕlōhîm kēn ballayəlāh hahû’ wayəhî-ḥōreḇ ’el-haggizzāh ləḇaddāhh wə‘al-kāl-hā’āreṣ hāyāh ṭāl

Judg 6:40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
