17 Gideon replied: »If you are pleased with me, give me proof that you are really Jehovah.
18 »Please do not leave until I return and bring you an offering.« Jehovah said: »I will stay until you come back.«
19 So Gideon went into his house and cooked a young goat and used a bushel of flour to make bread without any yeast. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, brought them to Jehovah’s angel under the oak tree, and gave them to him.
20 The angel told him: »Put the meat and the bread on this rock, and pour the broth over them.« Gideon did so.
21 Jehovah’s angel reached out and touched the meat and the bread with the end of the stick he was holding. Fire came out of the rock and burned up the meat and the bread. Then the angel disappeared.
22 With that Gideon realized that it was Jehovah’s angel he saw. He said in terror: »Sovereign Lord Jehovah! I have seen your angel face-to-face!«
23 Jehovah told him: »Peace. Do not be afraid. You will not die.«
24 Gideon built an altar to Jehovah there and named it: »Jehovah is Peace.« (Jehovah-shalom) It is still standing at Ophrah and belongs to the clan of Abiezer.
