Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”

behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken.”

Then Gideon said to God, “Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground.”

God did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground.
