6 So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and Bnei-Yisrael cried out to Adonai.
7 Now it came about when Bnei-Yisrael cried out to Adonai because of Midian,
8 that Adonai sent a prophet to Bnei-Yisrael, and he said to them, “Thus says Adonai, God of Israel, ‘It was I who brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage.
9 Then I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all your oppressors, and drove them out from before you and gave you their land.
10 Then I said to you, “I am Adonai your God. You are not to fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are dwelling. But you have not obeyed My voice.’”
11 Then the angel of Adonai came and sat under the terebinth that was at Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress—in order to hide it from the Midianites.
12 Then the angel of Adonai appeared to him and said to him, “Adonai is with you, O mighty man of valor.”
