Judges 6:7-9
New English Translation
7 When the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help because of Midian, 8 the Lord sent a prophet[a] to the Israelites. He said to them, “This is what the Lord God of Israel has said: ‘I brought you up from Egypt[b] and took you out of that place of slavery.[c] 9 I rescued you from Egypt’s power[d] and from the power of all who oppressed you. I drove them out before you and gave their land to you.
