Judges 6:32–40

³²And on that day they called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead with him, because he has broken down his altar.

³³And all Midian and Amalek and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel. ³⁴And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, and the Abi-ezrites were gathered after him. ³⁵And he sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were gathered after him; and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. ³⁶And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said, ³⁷behold, I put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if dew shall be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said. ³⁸And it was so. And when he rose up early on the morrow, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water. ³⁹And Gideon said to 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, I pray thee, be dry upon the fleece only, and upon all the ground let there be dew. ⁴⁰And God did so that night, and it was dry upon the fleece only, but on all the ground there was dew.
