Judges
Gideon asked for a sign using a fleece: first that the fleece alone would be wet with dew while the ground was dry (Judges 6:36–38). Then he asked for the reverse—dry fleece with dew on the ground—and God did so (Judges 6:39–40).
36Gideon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,
37behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.
38It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39Gideon said to God, Don`t let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.
40God did so that night: for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
