Judges 6:25-32

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)
thy father's
<01>
young
<06499>
bullock
<07794>_,
even the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>
of seven
<07651>
years old
<08141>_,
and throw down
<02040> (8804)
the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>
that thy father
<01>
hath, and cut down
<03772> (8799)
the grove
<0842>
that [is] by it: {even: or, and}
And build
<01129> (8804)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
upon the top
<07218>
of this rock
<04581>_,
in the ordered place
<04634>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>_,
and offer
<05927> (8689)
a burnt sacrifice
<05930>
with the wood
<06086>
of the grove
<0842>
which thou shalt cut down
<03772> (8799)_.
{rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered...: or, in an orderly manner}
Then Gideon
<01439>
took
<03947> (8799)
ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
of his servants
<05650>_,
and did
<06213> (8799)
as the LORD
<03068>
had said
<01696> (8765)
unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared
<03372> (8804)
his father's
<01>
household
<01004>_,
and the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
that he could not do
<06213> (8800)
[it] by day
<03119>_,
that he did
<06213> (8799)
[it] by night
<03915>_.
And when the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>
was cast down
<05422> (8795)_,
and the grove
<0842>
was cut down
<03772> (8795)
that [was] by it, and the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>
was offered
<05927> (8717)
upon the altar
<04196>
[that was] built
<01129> (8803)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
Who hath done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_?
And when they enquired
<01875> (8799)
and asked
<01245> (8762)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_.
Then the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joash
<03101>_,
Bring out
<03318> (8685)
thy son
<01121>_,
that he may die
<04191> (8799)_:
because he hath cast down
<05422> (8804)
the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>_,
and because he hath cut down
<03772> (8804)
the grove
<0842>
that [was] by it.
And Joash
<03101>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all that stood
<05975> (8804)
against him, Will ye plead
<07378> (8799)
for Baal
<01168>_?
will ye save
<03467> (8686)
him? he that will plead
<07378> (8799)
for him, let him be put to death
<04191> (8714)
whilst [it is yet] morning
<01242>_:
if he [be] a god
<0430>_,
let him plead
<07378> (8799)
for himself, because [one] hath cast down
<05422> (8804)
his altar
<04196>_.
Therefore on that day
<03117>
he called
<07121> (8799)
him Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let Baal
<01168>
plead
<07378> (8799)
against him, because he hath thrown down
<05422> (8804)
his altar
<04196>_.
{Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}
