Judges 6:26
Compare all
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.

Gideon Destroys the Altar of Baal

28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, there was the altar of Baal, torn down; and the wooden image that was beside it was cut down, and the second bull was being offered on the altar which had been built.

Judges 6:26

Of this rock - Heb. of this strong hold: for in that calamitous time the Israelites retreated to such rocks, and hid and fortified themselves in them. Ordered place - That is, in a plain and smooth part of the rock, where an altar may be conveniently built. And offer - Gideon was no priest, nor was this the appointed place of sacrifice; but God can dispense with his own institutions, though we may not; and his call gave Gideon sufficient authority.
