Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Gideon Tears Down a Baal Altar

²⁵ On that very night the Lord said to him, ‘Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old. Then tear down the altar of Baal^(A) that belongs to your father and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. ²⁶ Build a well-constructed altar to the Lord your God on the top of this mound.^(B) Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down.’ ²⁷ So Gideon took ten of his male servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s family and the men of the city to do it in the daytime, he did it at night.
