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!"
