11 (NIV) The angel of the
LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that
belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it
from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the LORD appeared
to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with
you, mighty warrior." É 20 The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened
bread, place them on this rock, and pour
out the broth." And Gideon did so. 21 With the tip of the staff that was in his hand, the
angel of the LORD touched the meat and the
unleavened bread. Fire flared from the rock,
consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the LORD disappeared. 22 When Gideon realized that it was the
angel of the LORD, he exclaimed,
"Ah, Sovereign LORD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!"
