CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Judges 6

Midianite raiders impoverish Israel so severely that the people hide in dens and caves. After a prophet reminds Israel that their trouble follows disobedience, the angel of the LORD calls Gideon to save Israel. Gideon tears down his father’s altar to Baal, gathers men for battle, and asks for confirming signs with a fleece before moving against Midian.
