Judges 6 : 33 - 40
| 33 | Then all the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel. |
| 34 | But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. |
| 35 | And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. |
| 36 | So Gideon said to God, "If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said-- |
| 37 | look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said." |
| 38 | And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. |
| 39 | Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew." |
| 40 | And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground. |
