23 And the Lord said unto him: Peace be unto thee, be not afeard, thou shalt not dye. 24 And Gideon built there an alter unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah Shalum, even unto this day. It is yet in Ophrath ye pertaineth to the Abiezerite.
23 And the Lord sayd vnto him: Peace be vnto thee, be not afeard, thou shalt not dye. 24 And Gideon built there an alter vnto the Lorde, and called it Iehouah Shalum, euen vnto this day. It is yet in Ophrath ye pertayneth to the Abiezerite.
When these things were spoken unto Gideon, by the history it appeareth not, but I think it was the next night after the things already rehearsed, wherefore he was commanded to build there an alter, where the meats which was set forth were consumed with fire, namely upon the rock, whereof is mention made a little before.1 Gideon was vexed with fear, supposing ye because he had seen god, he should die. Wherefore god comforted him, that he being void of the fear, might the chearefullier prepare him self, unto those things which were commanded him. That fear wonderfully letted his faith. For how could he believe, that he should set the Israelites at liberty, which every hour suspected death to be at hand. Wherefore god in comforting him, removed away the fear, that he might persecute the work, which longed especially unto faith. Thou shalt not die, saith he Peace be unto thee. In the hebrew phrase, peace signifieth tranquility, good success, & as the common people say, prosperous fortune. ⟨image 129⟩
