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
This occurs during Israel's period of oppression by the Midianites, when many Israelites had turned to worshiping Canaanite gods like Baal for protection and prosperity. Gideon's father had built an altar to Baal and set up an Asherah pole (wooden grove), which were common pagan worship practices that God had forbidden.
