Judges 6:21

Compare all

19 ^aSo Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.

20 The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and ^alay them on this rock, and ^bpour out the broth.” And he did so.

21 Then the Angel of the Lord put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and ^afire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.

22 Now Gideon ^aperceived that He was the Angel of the Lord. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! ^bFor I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face.”

23 Then the Lord said to him, ^a“Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die.”

24 So Gideon built an altar there to the Lord, and called it¹ The-Lord-Is-Peace. To this day it is still ^ain Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Judges 6:21

The angel - put forth the end of the staff - He appeared like a traveler with a staff in his hand; this he put forth, and having touched the flesh, fire rose out of the rock and consumed it. Here was the most evident proof of supernatural agency.

Then the angel - departed out of his sight - Though the angel vanished out of his sight, yet God continued to converse with him either by secret inspiration in his own heart, or by an audible voice.
