Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:17

17. Show me a sign Give me some miraculous evidence that this is no illusion, and that Jehovah really speaks to me. Gideon’s several answers show a trembling heart and a wavering faith. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:18

18. My present The original word, minchah, “does not mean a sacrifice in the strict sense, nor merely a gift of food, but a sacrificial gift in the sense of a gift presented to God, on the acceptance of which he hoped to receive the sign which would show whether the person who had appeared to him was really God. This sacrificial gift consisted of such food as they were accustomed to set before a guest whom they wished especially to honour.” Keil. The sign by which Gideon would judge of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:19

19. A kid… cakes Compare the similar meal which Abraham prepared for his divine guests under the oak of Mamre. Genesis 18:5-8. An ephah A measure of about four and one half pecks. Flesh he put in a basket… broth in a pot “The Orientals do not, as we do, use broth in which meat has been boiled as a soup. But they do use stews, such as the pottage for which Esau sold his birthright, and such as the sons of the prophet were preparing when they put into it by mistake some poisonous herb.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:20

20. Angel of God This expression is used here instead of Angel of Jehovah, as in Judges 6:11. The reason for the change is not easy to explain. Cassel thinks it is because “the nature of the angel, as a divine being, here begins to declare itself,” and Elohim is used instead of Jehovah to indicate “how the angel in his individual appearance can contain in himself the power of God.” read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:21

21. The staff that was in his hand Hitherto the Angel had appeared like a wayfaring man. Fire out of the rock Most startling and impressive miracle, showing beyond all possibility of doubt that this was indeed Jehovah’s Angel. Departed out of his sight Vanished. “The expression does not warrant the assumption that time Angel ascended to heaven in this instance, as in Judges 13:20, in time flame of the sacrifice.” Keil. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:22

22. Because I have seen an angel The wavering faith that asked for a sign now trembles and despairs because a sign is given. Gideon was awed and astonished at his divine commission to save Israel. To strengthen his faith he asked a sign, and so overwhelming in majesty and power was the sign granted that he trembled before it, and, forgetful of his divine commission, he began to fear that he must die. This whole narrative shows up Gideon as a man of sudden and strong emotions, yet... read more

23. The Lord said After having vanished to convince Gideon of his divinity, the Angel returns again to assure his heart. The Angel probably appeared and spoke again just as he did at the beginning of their interview. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:24

24. Jehovah-shalom That is, Jehovah is peace. He erected this altar both in gratitude to God for his mercy in remembering Israel, and as a memorial and witness of the blessed peace which was in that spot granted unto him. That revelation to Gideon was a sign and pledge that God was about to remove the rod of his anger from Israel, and be again at peace with them. That altar, with its sacred associations, long remained, and when this book of Judges was written, it was yet in Ophrah of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:25

25. The same night The same night on which he had seen the manifestation of the Lord. It was probably evening, perhaps after sunset, that Gideon threshed his wheat. For the darkness, no less than the seclusion of the winepress, (Judges 6:11,) would help to hide him from the Midianites. The interview with the Angel, and the building of the Jehovah-shalom altar, occupied the first part of the night; but after that miraculous scene it was not proper that Baal’s altar should see the rising of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:25-32

OVERTHROW OF THE ALTAR OF BAAL, Judges 6:25-32. Having built the Jehovah-shalom altar on the rock where Jehovah had manifested himself to him, Gideon is next commissioned to tear down the Baal altar, which had too long dishonoured his native mountain height, and erect in its place another altar to Jehovah. We must not fall into the error of several commentators, of confounding this altar with the one just mentioned in Judges 6:24. It was built in another place, and largely for another purpose. read more
