Judges 6:25-27

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁵ On that same night the Lord said to him, “Take a bull from your father’s herd of cattle, the second bull, the one that is seven years old.^[a] Tear down your father’s altar to Baal. Then cut down the Asherah pole that is next to it. ²⁶ In its place, build an altar to the Lord your God in the proper way, on top of this stronghold.^[b] Then take the second bull and send up a burnt offering using the wood from the Asherah pole that you cut down.

²⁷ So Gideon took ten of his servants and carried out the word of the Lord. Yet because he was too afraid of the household of his father and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.
