Judges 6:38
"And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it was so,.... The Lord condescended to work this miracle for the confirmation of his faith, and for the encouragement of those that were with him; the fleece was wet

with the dew of heaven, and all the ground about it dry: for he rose up early in the morning; being eagerly desirous of knowing whether his request would be granted, and how it would be with the fleece: and thrust the fleece together; to satisfy himself whether the dew had fallen on it, and there was any moisture in it, which by being squeezed together he would more easily perceive: and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water; so that it appeared it had not only fallen on it, but it had taken in a large quantity of it; the word here used is the same as in Jdg 5:25 ; see Gill on Jdg 5:25 ; the Targum calls it a flagon.
