14And the Lord looked vpon him, and said, Goe in this thy might, and thou shalt saue Israel from the hand of the Midianites: haue not I sent thee? 15And hee said vnto him, Oh my lord, wherewith shall I saue Israel? behold, my family is poore in Manasseh, and I am the least in my fathers house. 16And the Lord said vnto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man. 17And he said vnto him, If now I haue found grace in thy sight, then shew me a signe, that thou talkest with me. 18Depart not hence, I pray thee, vntil I come vnto thee, and bring forth my Present, and set it before thee. And hee saide, I will tary vntill thou come againe.
