יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the angel of the Lord put out the stick which was in his hand, touching the meat and the cakes with the end of it; and a flame came up out of the rock, burning up the meat and the cakes: and the angel of the Lord was seen no longer.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.

לַיהוָ֣ה (יהוָ֣ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

לַֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by T

Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “of Yahweh”
