Read word by wordAnd the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Read word by word“Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders of which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
Read word by wordThe LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?”

Read word by wordThen Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”
