Then the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, “The LORD is with you, valiant warrior.”

The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and deliver Israel from the grasp of Midian. I am sending you! ”

“But I will be with you,”  the LORD said to him. “You will strike Midian down as if it were one man.”

Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened? And where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about? They said, ‘Hasn’t the LORD brought us out of Egypt? ’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

He said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Look, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s family.”

The angel of the LORD   came, and he sat under the oak that was in Ophrah,  which belonged to Joash, the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was threshing wheat in the winepress in order to hide it from the Midianites.

So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace.  It is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites today.

Then he said to him, “If I have found favor with you,  give me a sign  that you are speaking with me.

But the LORD said to him, “Peace to you. Don’t be afraid, for you will not die.”

The Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.  So the LORD handed  them over to Midian seven years
