Judges 6:18

Judges 6:18

16 And the Lord said to him, ^a“Surely I will be with you, and you shall¹ defeat the Midianites as one man.”

17 Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then ^ashow me a sign that it is You who talk with me.

18 ^aDo not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” And He said, “I will wait until you come back.”

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.

GIDEON'S PRESENT CONSUMED BY FIRE. (Jdg. 6:17-32)

Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I . . . bring forth my present—Hebrew, my mincha, or "meat offering"; and his idea probably was to prove, by his visitor's partaking of the entertainment, whether or not he was more than man.
