Judges 6:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 So Gideon built there an altar to the Lord and called it Yahweh-shalom.[a](A) To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25 That same night the Lord said to him: Take your father’s bull, the bull fattened for seven years, and pull down your father’s altar to Baal. As for the asherah[b] beside it, cut it down 26 and build an altar to the Lord, your God, on top of this stronghold with the pile of wood. Then take the fattened bull and offer it as a whole-burnt sacrifice on the wood from the asherah you have cut down.
