Then the angel H4397 of Yahweh H3068 came H935 and sat H3427 under H8478 the [fn]oak H424 that was in Ophrah H6084, which H834 belonged to Joash H3060 the Abiezrite H33 as his son H1121 Gideon H1439 was beating H2251 out H2251 wheat H2406 in the wine H1660 press H1660 in order to [fn]preserve H5127 it from the Midianites H4080.
So Gideon H1439 went H935 in H935 and prepared H6213 a young H1423 H5795 goat H1423 H5795 and unleavened H4682 bread H4682 from an [fn]ephah H374 of flour H7058; he put H7760 the meat H1320 in a basket H5536 [fn]and the broth H4839 in a pot H6517 and brought H3318 them out H3318 to him under H8478 the [fn]oak H424 and presented H5066 them.
Now it happened H1961 on the same H1931 night H3915 that Yahweh H3068 said H559 to him, “Take H3947 your father’s H1 bull H6499 [fn]and a second H8145 bull H6499 seven H7651 years H8141 old, and pull H2040 down H2040 the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 which H834 belongs to your father H1, and cut H3772 down H3772 the [fn]Asherah H842 that is beside H5921 it,
Then the men H376 of the city H5892 arose H7925 early H7925 in the morning H1242, and behold H2009, the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 was torn H5422 down H5422, and the Asherah H842 which H834 was beside H5921 it was cut H3772 down H3772, and the second H8145 bull H6499 was offered H5927 on the altar H4196 which had been built H1129.
