Judges 6:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ So Gideon took ten of his servants and did what the Lord had told him to do. Because he was afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he could not do it during the day; he did it at night.

²⁸ Early in the morning the men from the city arose and saw the altar of Baal demolished and the Asherah alongside of it cut down. The spare ox had also been offered on the newly built altar. ²⁹ They asked one another, “Who has done this?” When they carefully investigated it, they were told, “Gideon, the son of Joash, did this.”
