Abstract: "This installment [see § 36-1037] brings the interpretations of Josephus, Phillo, ps.-Philo, and rabbinic writers to bear on the remaining episodes of the Gideon cycle in Judges 6-8: Gideon's second sacrifice (6:25-32), the call to arms and the test of the fleece (6:33-40), the selection of troops and the test of the water (7:1-8), the descent upon the enemy camp and the dream of the barley cake (7:9-15), the campaigns of Gideon (7:16-8:21), and the question of Gideon's idolatry (8:24-27). It concludes with comments on Gideon's greatness and virtues". - D.J.H.
