And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
Esa misma noche, el SEÑOR le dijo: 'Toma el toro joven de tu padre, el segundo toro de siete años, y derriba el altar de Baal que tu padre ha construido, y corta el poste de madera que está junto a él.'
Dios le ordenó a Gedeón destruir los ídolos de su propio padre y reemplazarlos con un altar al SEÑOR.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of the Judges, Israel often cycled through periods of rebellion against God, worshiping Canaanite gods like Baal due to influences from surrounding nations, which led to their oppression by enemies such as the Midianites. Gideon, a man from the tribe of Manasseh, was chosen by God as a reluctant leader to deliver Israel, and this command was his first test of faith. As part of this, God instructed him to destroy his father's altar to Baal and the nearby Asherah pole, symbolizing a return to exclusive worship of the Lord.
