12 And ^athe angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, ^b“The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” 13 And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, ^{▼▼Or Please, my Lord} if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are ^dall his wonderful deeds ^ethat our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14 And the Lord ^{▼▼Septuagint the angel of the Lord; also verse 16} turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; ^gdo not I send you?” 15 And he said to him, ^h“Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, ⁱmy clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” 16 And the Lord said to him, ^j“But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”
