the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and he said: "The Lord is with you, most valiant of men."

And the Lord looked down upon him, and he said: "Go forth with this, your strength, and you shall free Israel from the hand of Midian. Know that I have sent you."

And the Lord said to him: "I will be with you. And so, you shall cut down Midian as if one man."

And Gideon said to him: "I beg you, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why have these things happened to us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers described when they said, 'The Lord led us away from Egypt.' But now the Lord has forsaken us, and he has delivered us into the hand of Midian."

And responding, he said: "I beg you, my lord, with what shall I free Israel? Behold, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in the house of my father."

Then an Angel of the Lord arrived, and he sat under an oak tree, which was at Ophrah, and which belonged to Joash, the father of the family of Ezri. And while his son Gideon was threshing and cleaning the grain at the winepress, so that he might flee from Midian

Therefore, Gideon built an altar to the Lord there, and he called it, the Peace of the Lord, even to the present day. And while he was still at Ophrah, which is of the family of Ezri

And he said: "If I have found grace before you, give me a sign that it is you who is speaking to me.

And the Lord said to him: "Peace be with you. Do not be afraid; you shall not die."

Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, who delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years.
