So ^(F1)Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then perform for me ^(C1)a sign that it is You speaking with me.

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 ^(C1)fire came up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD ^(F1)vanished from his sight.

Then Gideon said to God, "^(C1)If You are going to save Israel ^(F1)through me, as You have spoken,

behold, I am putting a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will save Israel ^(F1)through me, as You have spoken."

And it was so. When he got up early the next morning and wrung out the fleece, he wrung the dew from the fleece, a bowl full of water.

Then Gideon said to God, "^(C1)Do not let Your anger burn against me, so that I may speak only one more time; please let me put You to the test only one more time with the fleece: let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."

And God did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground.
