Joshua 6:36. And Gideon said to God, If You will save Israel by my hand, as you have said, 37.

And it was so: for he rose up early on the next day and he squeezed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39. And Gideon said to God, Do not let Your anger be hot against me and I shall speak but this once: let me prove, I pray you, but this once with the fleece; now let it be dry only on the fleece and let there be dew on all the ground. 40. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon only the fleece and there was dew on all the ground.
