Gideon Asks for a Sign from God
36 Then Gideon told God, “If you intend to deliver Israel by my efforts[a] as you’ve said, 37 then take a look at this wool fleece that I’m placing on the threshing floor. If dew appears only on the fleece—and it’s dry on the ground all around it—then I’ll know that you’ll deliver Israel by my efforts[b] like you’ve said.” 38 And that is what happened:[c] When he got up early the next morning, he wrung out the fleece to drain the dew from it and extracted[d] a bowl full of water.

Judges 6:36-38
New International Version
36 Gideon said to God, “If you will save(A) Israel by my hand as you have promised— 37 look, I will place a wool fleece(B) on the threshing floor.(C) If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know(D) that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said.” 38 And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
