Judges 6:35-40

New International Version

³⁵ He sent messengers throughout Manasseh, calling them to arms, and also into Asher,^(A) Zebulun and Naphtali,^(B) so that they too went up to meet them.^(C)

³⁶ Gideon said to God, “If you will save^(D) Israel by my hand as you have promised— ³⁷ look, I will place a wool fleece^(E) on the threshing floor.^(F) If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know^(G) that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said.” ³⁸ And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.

³⁹ Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request.^(H) Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.” ⁴⁰ That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew.^(I)
