GIDEON'S FIRST ASSIGNMENT"And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Take thy father's bullock, even the second bullock seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it; and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of the stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down. Then Gideon took ten men of his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 6:21
Judges 6:21. Then the angel—put forth the end of the staff, &c.— This divine person, appearing, most probably, in the form of a traveller, with a staff in his hand, just touched the cakes and the flesh, &c. with that staff, when immediately fire arose up out of the rock and consumed them: a miracle, no doubt, as great as if fire had come down from heaven, as on the sacrifices which Moses, Elijah, and others offered. Thus the faith of Gideon was confirmed; he had no doubt of the Divinity... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 6:24
Judges 6:24. Gideon built an altar— Upon the rock where this miracle happened. This altar was not for sacrifice, which would have been directly contrary to the law; but as a memorial of the vision with which God had favoured him, and of the miracle wherewith it was accompanied. And he called it Jehovah-shalom; i.e. the Lord sent peace. Until this day, signifies that it was remaining when this Book of the Judges was written; i.e. most likely, till the time of Samuel. See Thesaur. Philolog. tom.... read more

25. Take thy father's . . . second bullock—The Midianites had probably reduced the family herd; or, as Gideon's father was addicted to idolatry, the best may have been fattened for the service of Baal; so that the second was the only remaining one fit for sacrifice to God. throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath—standing upon his ground, though kept for the common use of the townsmen. cut down the grove that is by it—dedicated to Ashtaroth. With the aid of ten confidential servants he... read more

1. The story of Gideon 6:1-8:32Paul Tanner pointed out that the Gideon narrative consists of five primary structural sections."The first section (Judges 6:1-10) provides the introduction and setting before Gideon’s debut, the second section (Judges 6:11-32) gives the commissioning of Gideon as deliverer of Israel, the third section (Judges 6:33 to Judges 7:18) presents the preparation for the battle, the fourth section (Judges 7:19 to Judges 8:21) recounts the defeat of the Midianite army, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 6:11-32
Gideon’s commissioning by Yahweh 6:11-32". . . the heroic women of the song [of Deborah, ch. 5] give way to an unheroic ’man of Israel’ (Judges 7:14) who not only does all he can to evade the call of Yahweh but in the end abandons God. . . . In the person of Gideon the narrator recognizes the schizophrenic nature of Israel’s spiritual personality. On the one hand she treasures her call to be God’s covenant people; on the other she cannot resist the allurements of the prevailing Canaanite... read more
