Judges 6:31 in Context — Judges 6
29 Ils se dirent l’un à l’autre: Qui a fait cela? Et ils s’informèrent et firent des recherches. On leur dit: C’est Gédéon, fils de Joas, qui a fait cela.
30 Alors les gens de la ville dirent à Joas: Fais sortir ton fils, et qu’il meure, car il a renversé l’autel de Baal et abattu le pieu sacré qui était dessus.
31 Joas répondit à tous ceux qui se présentèrent à lui: Est-ce à vous de prendre parti pour Baal? Est-ce à vous de venir à son secours? Quiconque prendra parti pour Baal mourra avant que le matin vienne. Si Baal est un dieu, qu’il plaide lui-même sa cause, puisqu’on a renversé son autel.
32 Et en ce jour l’on donna à Gédéon le nom de Jerubbaal, en disant: Que Baal plaide contre lui, puisqu’il a renversé son autel.
33 Tout Madian, Amalek et les fils de l’Orient, se rassemblèrent; ils passèrent le Jourdain, et campèrent dans la vallée de Jizréel.
