Judges 6:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 6:23

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.

25 Now it came to pass the same night that the Lord said to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and ^atear down the altar of ^bBaal that your father has, and ^ccut down the wooden image that is beside it;

26 and build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this¹ rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.”
