Shofetim 6:24-26
Orthodox Jewish Bible
24 Then Gid’on built a Mizbe’ach there unto Hashem, and called it Hashem Shalom; unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Aviezri.
25 And it came to pass the same night, that Hashem said unto him, Take thy father’s young bull, even the second bull of sheva shanim, and tear down the mizbe’ach of Ba’al that thy av hath, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;
26 And build a Mizbe’ach unto Hashem Eloheicha upon the top of this rock, in the proper arrangement; take the second bull, offer an olah with the wood of the Asherah pole which thou shalt cut down.

New International Version
24 So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called(A) it The Lord Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah(B) of the Abiezrites.
25 That same night the Lord said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old.[a] Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole[b](C) beside it. 26 Then build a proper kind of[c] altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second[d] bull as a burnt offering.(D)”
