And he said, "I will tarry until thou come again."

And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an

ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a

pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

And the angel of God said unto him, "Take the flesh and the unleavened

cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth."

And he did so. Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff

that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes;

and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the

unleavened cakes; and the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.

And Gideon saw that he was the angel of the Lord; and Gideon said,

"Alas, O Lord God! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the Lord face

to face."

And the Lord said unto him, "Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt

not die."

Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord.
