The angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior!”

The LORD turned to Gideon and said, “Go with your strength and save Israel from the Midianites. I am the one who is sending you.”

The LORD answered him, “I will be with you. It will seem as if the Midianites you are fighting are only one man.”

Then Gideon said, “Sir, if the LORD is with us, why are we having so much trouble? Where are the miracles our ancestors told us he did when the LORD brought them out of Egypt? But now he has left us and has handed us over to the Midianites.”

But Gideon answered, “Lord, how can I save Israel? My family group is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least important member of my family.”

The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak tree at Ophrah that belonged to Joash, one of the Abiezrite people. Gideon, Joash’s son, was separating some wheat from the chaff in a winepress to keep the wheat from the Midianites.

So Gideon built an altar there to worship the LORD and named it The LORD Is Peace. It still stands at Ophrah, where the Abiezrites live.

Then Gideon said to the LORD, “If you are pleased with me, give me proof that it is really you talking with me.

But the LORD said to Gideon, “Calm down! Don’t be afraid! You will not die!”

Again the Israelites did what the LORD said was wrong. So for seven years the LORD handed them over to Midian.
