Judges 6:24

Judges 6:24

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.”

27 So Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the Lord had said to him. But because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Judges 6:23

Judges 6:25 >>

There - On the top of the rock, as is evident from Judges 6:26, where that which is here expressed only in general, is more particularly described. Jehovah - shalom - That is, the Lord's peace; the sign or witness of God's speaking peace to me, and to his people: or the place where he spake peace to me, when I expected nothing but destruction.
