18. Do not depart from here, 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.
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.
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.
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.
22. And when Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
23. And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; do not fear, thou shalt not die.
24. Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord and called it The Lord is the Peace, {YHWH-shalom}, unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25. And it came to pass the same night that the Lord said unto him, Take a bullock of thy father’s house and a second bullock seven years old and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father has and cut down the grove that is by it
26. and build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, according to due order, and take the second bullock and offer a burnt sacrifice upon the wood of the grove which thou shall have cut down.
27. Then Gideon took ten men of his slaves and did as the Lord had said unto him. But he feared to do it by day because of his father’s family and the men of the city, so he did it by night.
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.
