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 6:26

Context
6:26 Then build an altar for the Lord your God on the top of this stronghold according to the proper pattern. 2  Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt sacrifice on the wood from the Asherah pole that you cut 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 Possibly “in a row” or “in a layer,” perhaps referring to the arrangement of the stones used in the altar’s construction.
