36. Then Gideon said to God, “You said you would help me save Israel.
37. I will put some wool on the threshing floor. Let there be dew only on the wool. But let all of the ground be dry. Then I will know what you said is true. I will know that you will use me to save Israel.”
38. And that is just what happened. Gideon got up early the next morning and squeezed the wool. He got a full bowl of water from the wool.
39. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me. Let me ask just one more thing. Please let me make one more test. Let the wool be dry while the ground around it gets wet with dew.”
40. That night God did that very thing. Just the wool was dry, but the ground around it was wet with dew.
