And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
Joás dijo a todos los que estaban enojados con él: '¿Van a defender a Baal? ¿Van a rescatarlo? ¡Cualquiera que lo defienda debe morir antes del amanecer! Si realmente es un dios, que se defienda a sí mismo, ya que alguien derribó su altar.'
Joás desafió a quienes defendían a Baal, diciendo que si era un verdadero dios, debería defenderse a sí mismo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the era of the Judges, Israel repeatedly turned away from God to worship idols like Baal, resulting in cycles of oppression by enemy nations such as the Midianites. Gideon was chosen by God to lead Israel in deliverance, starting with the destruction of his father Joash's Baal altar as a bold act of faith. When the townspeople angrily demanded Gideon's punishment, Joash defended him by challenging them to let Baal prove his power if he was truly a god.
