Judges 6:20

Verse 20. Thereon. Thus he would shew Gedeon that he had no need of food. He would exercise his obedience, and manifest a greater miracle, as the flesh and bread would be less apt to take fire, when the angel touched them, even though some might imagine that he caused a spark to come from the rock. For the like purpose, Elias ordered thrice four buckets of water to be poured on the bullock, which fire from heaven would miraculously consume. 3 Kennicott. 18:34. Bible.—This broth might serve to anoint the altar, (Exodus 40:10. Menochius.) or answer instead of the usual libations. A. Montan.
