Bible Game · Chapter 22

Gideon's Fleece

Gideon asks for a sign — let dew form on the fleece alone overnight, while the ground around stays dry (6:37). The next day it was so; he wrung a bowlful of dew from the fleece. Yet he asks once more, this time reversed — let the fleece stay dry and dew fall only on the ground (6:39). You stand there and ask, why test again? — This game does not ask whether God sent that dew. It settles only one thing: which test rules out chance.

Old Testament · Judges 6 · before dry ground and a wet fleece
