Shofetim 6:31-40 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

31. And Yoash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Ba'al? Will ye save him? He that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet boker; if he be Elohim, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his mizbe'ach.

32. Therefore on that day he called him Yerubaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he hath torn down his mizbe'ach.

33. Then kol Midyan and Amalek and the Bnei Kedem were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Yizre'el.

34. But the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem came upon Gid'on; he blew a shofar; and Aviezer was summoned to follow after him.

35. And he sent malachim throughout all Menasheh; who also was gathered after him; and he sent malachim unto Asher, and unto Zevulun, and unto Naphtali; and they went up to meet them.

36. And Gid'on said unto HaElohim, If Thou wilt save Yisroel by my yad, as Thou hast said,

37. Hinei, I will put a fleece of wool in the goren (threshing floor); and if the tal (dew) be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all ha'aretz, then shall I know that Thou wilt save Yisroel by my yad, as Thou hast said.

38. And it was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and squeezed the fleece together, and wrung the tal out of the fleece, a bowl full of mayim.

39. And Gid'on said unto HaElohim, Let not Thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once; let me test, now, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be tal.

40. And Elohim did so that night; for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was tal on all the ground.
