The LORD’s angel comes to Ophrah and appears to Gideon

여호와의 사자가 오브라에 이르러 기드온에게 나타남

Judges 6:11–24: the LORD’s angel comes and sits under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon is beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. The LORD’s angel appears to him and says to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Gideon says to him, “Oh, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.” The LORD looks at him and says, “Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?” Gideon says to him, “O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” The LORD says to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” Gideon says to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me. Please don’t go away until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you.” The text goes on at 6:18, “He said, ‘I will wait until you come back.’” Gideon goes in and prepares a young goat and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal. He puts the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brings it out to him under the oak, and presents it. The angel of God says to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” Gideon does so. Then the LORD’s angel stretches out the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touches the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire goes up out of the rock and consumes the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the LORD’s angel departs out of his sight. Gideon sees that he was the LORD’s angel; and Gideon says, “Alas, Lord GOD! Because I have seen the LORD’s angel face to face!” The LORD says to him, “Peace be to you! Don’t be afraid. You shall not die.” Then Gideon builds an altar there to the LORD, and calls it “The LORD is Peace.” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. The Korean Revised Version gives the altar’s name as 여호와살롬.
