Hakim-hakim 6:37

6:37 Look, I am putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and the ground around it ¹  is dry, then I will be sure ²  that you will use me to deliver Israel, ³  as you promised.”

Hakim-hakim 11:17

11:17 Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please allow us ⁴  to pass through your land.” But the king of Edom rejected the request. ⁵  Israel sent the same request to the king of Moab, but he was unwilling to cooperate. ⁶  So Israel stayed at Kadesh.
