Judges 6:26-28
Lexham English Bible
26 and build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold in the proper arrangement, and take a second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah[a] that you will cut down. 27 Gideon took ten men from his servants, and he did just as Yahweh told him;[b] and because he was too afraid of his father’s family[c] and the men of the city to do it during the day, he did it during night.
Gideon Destroys the Altar of Baal
28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning, look, the altar of Baal and the Asherah[d] that was beside it were cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar that had been built.
