What Does Judges 6:29 Mean?
The discovery sparks an uproar. The men of the city ask one another who could have done this. They investigate and inquire until the answer is found: Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing. His deed is now public knowledge, and his name is on every tongue.
The investigation underscores that a stand for God will be noticed and named. Gideon can no longer hide in the winepress; his obedience has marked him out before the whole town. There is a cost to be counted when one tears down what a community holds sacred. Yet faithfulness has a way of stepping into the light. The man God called the mighty man of valour is beginning, however reluctantly, to be known.
