Judges 6:22-24

International Standard Version

God Reassures Gideon

²² When Gideon realized that he had seen the angel of the Lord himself, he cried out, “Oh no! Lord God! I’ve been looking right at the angel of the Lord—and face-to-face at that!”

²³ “Calm down!^[a] Don’t be afraid.” the Lord replied. “You’re not going to die!” ²⁴ So Gideon built an altar right there to the Lord and called it “The Lord is peace.” (To this very day it still stands in Ophrah, which belongs to the descendants of Abiezer.)
