  • Judg 6:37-39 : 37 Look, I am placing a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If dew is only on the fleece, and the ground remains dry, then I will know that you will deliver Israel by my hand, as you have said. 38 And that is exactly what happened. When Gideon rose early the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung enough dew from it to fill a bowl with water. 39 Then Gideon said to God, 'Please do not be angry with me, but let me make one more request. Allow me to test just once more with the fleece. Let the fleece remain dry, while dew covers the ground around it.'

  • 2 Kgs 20:8-9 : 8 Hezekiah asked Isaiah, "What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the house of the LORD on the third day?" 9 Isaiah answered, "This is the sign from the LORD to you that He will do what He has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?" 10 Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to move forward ten steps; rather, let it go back ten steps." 11 Then the prophet Isaiah called out to the LORD, and He made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz, the steps it had descended. 12 At that time, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah because he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 Hezekiah listened to them and showed them his entire treasury—the silver, the gold, the spices, the fine oil, and all the storehouse of his weapons. There was nothing in his palace or in his whole kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them. 14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, "What did these men say, and where did they come from?" Hezekiah replied, "They came from a distant land—from Babylon." 15 "What did they see in your palace?" Isaiah asked. Hezekiah replied, "They saw everything in my palace. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show them." 16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD: 17 'The time is coming when everything in your palace and all that your ancestors have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. 18 And some of your descendants, your own sons who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.' 19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good," for he thought, "Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?" 20 The rest of the deeds of Hezekiah, including all his achievements—how he made the pool and the conduit to bring water into the city—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 21 Hezekiah rested with his ancestors, and his son Manasseh succeeded him as king.

Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

  • Judg 6:17-22 : 17 Gideon replied, 'If I have found favor in your sight, give me a sign that it is really you speaking to me.' 18 Please do not leave here until I return to you and bring my offering and set it before you.' And the Lord said, 'I will stay until you return.' 19 So Gideon went and prepared a young goat and from an ephah of flour made unleavened bread. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out and offered them under the terebinth tree. 20 The angel of God said to him, 'Take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock, and pour out the broth.' And Gideon did so. 21 Then the angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of the staff that was in his hand. Fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the angel of the Lord disappeared from his sight. 22 When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the Lord, he exclaimed, 'Alas, Sovereign Lord! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!'
