Judges 6:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 6:8

6 So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel ^acried out to the Lord.

7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites,

8 that the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the ^ahouse of bondage;

9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and ^adrove them out before you and gave you their land.

10 Also I said to you, “I am the Lord your God; ^ado not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not obeyed My ^bvoice.’ ”

11 Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash ^athe Abiezrite, while his son ^bGideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.

12 And the ^aAngel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is ^bwith you, you mighty man of valor!”
