37

Behold, I will puth3322h8688 a fleeceh1492 of woolh6785 in the floorh1637; and if the dewh2919 be on the fleeceh1492 only, and it be dryh2721 upon all the earthh776 beside , then shall I knowh3045h8804 that thou wilt saveh3467h8686 Israelh3478 by mine handh3027, as thou hast saidh1696h8765.

And it was so: for he rose up earlyh7925h8686 on the morrowh4283, and thrusth2115 the fleeceh1492 togetherh2115h8799, and wringedh4680h8799 the dewh2919 out of the fleeceh1492, a bowlh5602 fullh4393 of waterh4325.

39

And Gideonh1439 saidh559h8799 unto Godh430, Let not thine angerh639 be hoth2734h8799 against me, and I will speakh1696h8762 but this onceh6471: let me proveh5254h8762, I pray thee, but this onceh6471 with the fleeceh1492; let it now be dryh2721 only upon the fleeceh1492, and upon all the groundh776 let there be dewh2919.

40

And Godh430 didh6213h8799 so that nighth3915: for it was dryh2721 upon the fleeceh1492 only, and there was dewh2919 on all the groundh776.
