Contextual Overview

¹¹ Then the angel of Adonai came and sat under the pistachio tree in ‘Ofrah that belonged to Yo'ash the Avi‘ezri. His son Gid‘on was threshing wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from Midyan. ¹² The angel of Adonai appeared to him and said to him: "You valiant hero! Adonai is with you!" ¹³ "Excuse me, sir," answered Gid‘on, "but if Adonai is with us, then why is all this happening to us? And where are all his miracles our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Didn't Adonai bring us up from Egypt?' For now Adonai has abandoned us and handed us over to Midyan." ¹⁴ Adonai turned to him and said, "Go in this strength of yours and save Isra'el from the hands of Midyan. Haven't I sent you?" ¹⁵ But Gid‘on answered him, "Forgive me, my Lord, but with what am I to save Isra'el? Why, my family is the poorest in M'nasheh, and I'm the youngest person in my father's house!" ¹⁶ Adonai said to him, "Because I will be with you, you will strike down Midyan as easily as if they were just one man." ¹⁷ Gid‘on replied, "If indeed you favor me, would you mind giving me a sign that it is really you talking with me? ¹⁸ Please don't leave until I go and return with a gift and present it to you." He replied, "I'll wait till you come back." ¹⁹ Gid‘on went in, cooked a young goat and made matzot from a bushel of flour. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, brought them out to him under the pistachio tree and presented them. ²⁰ The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and matzot, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." Gid‘on did so.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord said unto him,.... Either by a secret impulse upon his spirit, or by a voice from heaven; and even, as Kimchi observes, the angel, after he ascended, might cause this voice to be heard, seeing him in great fear, because he knew he was an angel; and which is another proof of this angel being Jehovah himself, the eternal Word:

peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shall not die; let not thy mind be ruffled and disturbed, but serene and calm; fear not that any evil shall befall thee, and particularly death; thou shall be safe from any danger whatever, and especially from death, which he expected in his flight would immediately follow.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 6:23. Fear not: thou shalt not die. — Here the discovery is made by God himself: Gideon is not curiously prying into forbidden mysteries, therefore he shall not die.
