Judges 6:24

Context
6:24 Gideon built an altar for the Lord there, and named it “The Lord is on friendly terms with me.” 1  To this day it is still there in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Judges 6:32

Context
6:32 That very day Gideon’s father named him Jerub-Baal, 2  because he had said, “Let Baal fight with him, for it was his altar that was pulled down.”

1 tn Heb “The Lord is peace.” Gideon’s name for the altar plays on the Lord’s reassuring words to him, “Peace to you.”

2 tn Heb “He called him on that day Jerub-Baal.” The name means, at least by popular etymology, “Let Baal fight!”
