After Gideon destroyed the altar of Baal, the Midianites and their allies gathered their forces to attack the Israelites. But God was preparing Gideon to lead the Israelites to victory. This passage describes how Gideon sought confirmation from God through miraculous signs, known as the "fleece of wool." These signs strengthened Gideon's faith and showed that the victory would come from God's power, not Gideon's own strength.

v. 33: The Midianites, Amalekites, and other groups from the east crossed the Jordan River and set up camp in the valley of Jezreel, near Gideon's hometown.
