H9009–/ה–ha

That night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Ba'al which your father has, and cut down the Ashe'rah that is beside it;

הַהוּא֒ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשּׁוֹר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֖י (הַ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֙עַל֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”

and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order; then take the second bull, and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Ashe'rah which you shall cut down."

הַמָּע֛וֹז (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַפָּ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֔י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה (הָ) ha. “the”

So Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had told him; but because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

הָעִ֛יר (הָ) ha. “the”

When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Ba'al was broken down, and the Ashe'rah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered upon the altar which had been built.

הָעִיר֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”וְהָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”הַפָּ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַשֵּׁנִ֔י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבָּנֽוּי׃ (הַ) ha. “which”

And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

הַדָּבָ֣ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַדָּבָ֥ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

הָעִיר֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה (הָ) ha. “the”

But Jo'ash said to all who were arrayed against him, "Will you contend for Ba'al? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down."

הַבֹּ֑קֶר (הַ) ha. “the”

Therefore on that day he was called Jerubba'al, that is to say, "Let Ba'al contend against him," because he pulled down his altar.

הַה֖וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַבַּ֔עַל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then Gideon said to God, "If thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said."

הַצֶּ֖מֶר (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַגִּזָּ֜ה (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ (הָ) ha. “the”

And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

הַגִּזָּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַגִּזָּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַסֵּ֖פֶל (הַ) ha. “the”

Then Gideon said to God, "Let not thy anger burn against me, let me speak but this once; pray, let me make trial only this once with the fleece; pray, let it be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew."

הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים (הָ֣) ha. “<the>”הַפָּ֑עַם (הַ) ha. “this”הַפַּ֙עַם֙ (הַ) ha. “this”הַגִּזָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֖רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

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

הַה֑וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַגִּזָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָ֖רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

Then Jerubba'al (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Mid'ian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמּוֹרֶ֖ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has delivered me.'

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”

Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home.'" And Gideon tested them; twenty-two thousand returned, and ten thousand remained.

הָעָם֙ (הָ) ha. “the”הַגִּלְעָ֑ד (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָעָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “the”

And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; take them down to the water and I will test them for you there; and he of whom I say to you, 'This man shall go with you,' shall go with you; and any of whom I say to you, 'This man shall not go with you,' shall not go."

הָעָ֣ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַמַּ֔יִם (הַ) ha. “the”

So he brought the people down to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, "Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself; likewise every one that kneels down to drink."

הָעָ֖ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַמָּ֑יִם (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּ֜יִם (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֶּ֗לֶב (הַ) ha. “the”

And the number of those that lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water.

הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים (הַֽ) ha. “those”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

And the LORD said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will deliver you, and give the Mid'ianites into your hand; and let all the others go every man to his home."

הָאִ֤ישׁ (הָ) ha. “the”הַֽמֲלַקְקִים֙ (הַֽ) ha. “who”הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

הָעָ֨ם (הָ) ha. “the”הָאִ֖ישׁ (הָ) ha. “the”

That same night the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp; for I have given it into your hand.

הַה֔וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”

But if you fear to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant;

הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ (הַֽ) Ha. “the”

and you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men that were in the camp.

הַחֲמֻשִׁ֖ים (הַ) ha. “those”

And the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the seashore for multitude.
