Contextual Overview

¹¹And the Messenger of YHWH comes and sits under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and his son Gideon is beating out wheat in the winepress, to remove [it] from the presence of the Midianites; ¹²and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him and says to him, "YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor." ¹³And Gideon says to Him, "O my Lord, [if] YHWH is indeed with us, then why has all this found us? And where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Has YHWH not brought us up out of Egypt? And now YHWH has left us, and gives us into the hand of Midian." ¹⁴And YHWH turns to him and says, "Go in this—your power; and you have saved Israel out of the hand of Midian—have I not sent you?" ¹⁵And he says to Him, "O my Lord, with what do I save Israel? Behold, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in the house of my father." ¹⁶And YHWH says to him, "Because I am with you—you have struck the Midianites as one man." ¹⁷And he says to Him, "Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, then You have done a sign for me that You are speaking with me. ¹⁸Please do not move from here until my coming to You, and I have brought out my present, and put it before You"; and He says, "I abide until your return." ¹⁹And Gideon has gone in, and prepares a kid of the goats, and an ephah of flour [worth] of unleavened things; he has put the flesh in a basket, and he has put the broth in a pot, and he brings [them] out to Him, to the place of the oak, and brings [them] near. ²⁰And the Messenger of God says to him, "Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place [them] on this rock—and pour out the broth"; and he does 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.
