Judges 6:33-40

New International Version

³³ Now all the Midianites, Amalekites^(A) and other eastern peoples^(B) joined forces and crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.^{(C) 34} Then the Spirit of the Lord came on^(D) Gideon, and he blew a trumpet,^(E) summoning the Abiezrites^(F) to follow him. ³⁵ He sent messengers throughout Manasseh, calling them to arms, and also into Asher,^(G) Zebulun and Naphtali,^(H) so that they too went up to meet them.^(I)

³⁶ Gideon said to God, “If you will save^(J) Israel by my hand as you have promised— ³⁷ look, I will place a wool fleece^(K) on the threshing floor.^(L) If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know^(M) 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.^(N) 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.^(O)
