Judges 6:16–23

¹⁶And the Lord said to him, ^e“But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” ¹⁷And he said to him, ^f“If now I have found favor in your eyes, then ^gshow me a sign that it is you who speak with me. ¹⁸Please ^hdo not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.”

¹⁹So Gideon went into his house ⁱand prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah² 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 cakes, and put them ^jon this rock, and ^kpour the broth over them.” And he did so. ²¹Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. ^lAnd fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. ²²Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord. And Gideon said, ^m“Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” ²³But the Lord said to him, ⁿ“Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.”
