Judges 6:32

English

³²That’s why Gideon was called Jerub-Baal that day. He said, “Let Baal take his stand against him.” Gideon had torn down Baal’s altar.

Therefore on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he broke down his altar.

So because Gideon broke down Baal’s altar, they gave him the name Jerub-Baal that day, saying, “Let Baal contend with him.”

That day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, since Joash said, “Let Baal contend with him,” because he tore down his altar.

From then on Gideon was called Jerub-baal, which means “Let Baal defend himself,” because he broke down Baal’s altar.

Thus, on that day he was called Jerub-Baal, which means, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he had pulled down his altar.

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