Judges 6:11-1311
Now the [a]Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the wine press [instead of the threshing floor] to [hide it and] save it from the Midianites.

In verse 11 a messenger comes to Gideon, and He was Adonai’s messenger, the Angel of the Lord, and most commentators agree it was the pre-incarnate Messiah.
This messenger came and sat under the pistachio tree and appeared to Gideon.
Here we need to pause because the term “oak” here is sometimes translated as “terebinth,” It is clear that the translators are uncertain which translation is correct, and it would seem not improbable that then there was no clear distinction between oak and terebinth in the minds of the Old Testament. writers; yet the two are very different trees to any but the most superficial observation.

elah: Oak, Terebinth
Original Word: אִלָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: elah
Pronunciation: ay-LAW
Phonetic Spelling: (ay-law’)
KJV: elm, oak, teil-tree
NASB: oak, Elah, terebinth
Word Origin: [feminine of H352 (אַיִל – Ram)]
In ancient Near Eastern culture, terebinths were often associated with sacred sites and were considered places of worship, divine encounters and revelation. Their long lifespan and resilience made them symbols of endurance and stability. The terebinth’s deep roots and ability to thrive in arid conditions also made it a fitting metaphor for spiritual strength and perseverance.
It serves as a reminder for us of our Heavenly Father’s enduring promises and the strength He imparts to His people. The terebinth’s symbolism of resilience and steadfastness is a call for believers to remain rooted in faith, even amidst trials and challenges.
The terebinth-Pistacia terebinthus (Natural Order, Anacardiaceae), Arabic Butm-is a tree allied to the
P. vera,
which produces the pistachio nut,
and to the familiar “pepper tree” (Schinus molle) so extensively cultivated in modern Palestine. Like the latter, the terebinth has red berries, like small immature grapes. The leaves are pinnate, four to six pairs, and they change color and fall in autumn, leaving the trunk bare (compare Isaiah 1:30). This tree assumes noble proportions, especially in situations when, from its association with some sacred tomb, it is allowed to flourish undisturbed. When it can grow to as much as 40 ft. high and spreads its branches, with their thick, dark-green foliage, over a wide area (compare 2 Samuel 18:9, 14;) and small trees occur among the brushwood all over the land.
An example is in Genesis 12:6-7 : “Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your offspring I will give this land.’ So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.”
The “great tree of Moreh” sometimes translated as oak, is often understood to be a terebinth, marking a significant location where the Lord Adonai made a covenant with Abram.
From this tree, a kind of turpentine/resin is obtained, hence, the alternative name “turpentine tree” (Ecclesiasticus 24:16 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) “terebinth”).
Though merely a tree, the אִלָה is mentioned through Scripture as
a reminder of covenant,
the seat of judgment,
and a signpost of redemption.
Its recurring presence testifies that our Heavenly Father who created the terebinth, also uses every aspect of creation to accomplish His saving purposes. In recent times scientists have extracted the resin of the pistachio tree and by using ancient methods they have recreated the Balm of Gilead. Jeremiah famously asked the question “Is there no balm in Gilead?” wondering rhetorically why the Jews did not seek atonement for their backsliding, Gilead is a territory located in what is now northwestern Jordan. The Hebrew word tsori, is rendered as “balm,” it is mentioned a few times in the Hebrew Bible, and appears to be a product especially associated with the Land of Israel/eretz yisrael.
Amplified Bible
Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the wine press [instead of the threshing floor] to [hide it and] save it from the Midianites.
King James Version
And there came an angel of the Lord , and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
Threshed wheat by the winepress — This was a place of privacy; he could not make use of a threshing-floor in broad daylight as the usual custom was, and bring either the wheel over the grain, or tread it out with the feet of the oxen, for he was very much aware of the Midianites, who were accustomed to come and steal it as soon as threshed. He got a few sheaves from the field, and brought them home to have them privately threshed for the support of the family. This was a clever move on Gideons part as there was no vintage/wine, among the Israelites in their present circumstances, the winepress would never be suspected by the Midianites to be the place of threshing corn.
So when the Angel of the Lord first met Gideon, he was hidden from view in a winepress, threshing wheat – Judges 6:11.
We read the verses and don’t always see what they are saying. Many times we have heard a sermon giving a certain message or interpretation and don’t bother to either read it for ourselves or pause to check if it is the complete interpretation.
First, people don’t thresh wheat in a winepress. A threshing floor stood in the open, whereas the winepress was usually below ground or in a low area, offering a place of seclusion so as not to be seen, which Scripture says Gideon was actually doing.
The word in Hebrew is lehanis from the root word nos,
which means to flee or disappear.
By re-reading the scripture, it clearly says that Gideon was hiding the grain from the Midianites, so they would not steal it; not so much just hiding from them in fear, he had a specific purpose. The Midianites were known for stealing food instead of working hard and raising their own crops, this was part of the troubles they were experiencing…
There had been many years of peace and apart from the Midianites the people had not had to fight wars. Gideon was not ‘in fear’ as so many sermons tell us he was, surely he was being cautious and wise to use the winepress to thresh the corn.
Gideon did not seem surprised at the appearance of the angel and angelic messengers were not unknown in those days, he did not panic and so it would seem people were used to seeing angels and the scriptures indeed record many instances.
On hearing the angels greeting and statement concerning him, Gideon responds with a question and it wasn’t about what the angel called him because as we have seen that ‘warrior’ is what the name Gideon means; so in fact He called him by name.
What he did say was: Excuse me sir but if Adonai is with us then why has all this trouble found us and where are all the signs and wonders which our fathers recounted to us saying has not Adonai brought us up out of Egypt ( a type of the world). and now Adonai has left us and gives us into the hands of Midyan.
How many times have we asked the same questions?
If our Heavenly Father is with us then why has all this trouble found us?
It seems like He has abandoned us, He’s nowhere to be found. However this feeling is not the truth.
In Gideons case it was after 40 years of peace from any enemies and in that season the children of Israel had slowly fallen away, backslidden from the presence of the Lord. Everything was peaceful and they had come to think they didn’t need the Lord God. Gideon wasn’t thinking on God’s promises, so much so that even the appearance of Adonai Himself was not enough to cause a reaction. All he had were fading memories of what he had been told the Lord God had done so long ago and would do for Israel, His people. When He appeared sitting under the pistachio tree Gideon didn’t recognize Who it was because his personal experience with the Lord had deteriorated so much. So much that he was not able to recognize the Lord and he questions the visitor in an abrupt manner and He was not afraid.
Why?
Was it because he didn’t believe he was in the Lord Gods’ presence, was he simply ignorant, or was he being careful to make sure he wasn’t being deceived?
There are times we too ask the Lord ….’where are You’? And its certainly not because He has left us. We feel abandoned because we have moved away we have forgotten Him and what His presence feels like, and we are not sure where to find Him. We ask Him where are His signs, wonders and miracles? Not because we notice they are missing but because we are too blind to see He is working them all around us. Just because trouble has found us doesn’t mean He is gone. Messiah warned us that in this life we shall have tribulation, tests and trials.
Let’s not fall so far from His presence that we can’t hear His Voice or recognize He is there, and that His provision and promises never fail, but at the same time we are not taking Him for granted. We’ll know we are abandoned when we stop wondering where He is, and it’s never our Heavenly Father Who has moved away.
Will He ever appear to us sitting under a pistachio tree in order to get our attention? Hopefully not because unlike Gideon, we are never to let Him become a distant memory but we are to keep Him as a perpetual presence every day of our lives.

An operating manual is usually provided by the manufacturer of things we purchase, from vehicles to household items and from the most simple to the most complicated process of operation; but how often do we read them before assembling the item or using it?
Usually we try to figure it out ourselves and only when it doesn’t work, do we look at the instructions and find the page for ‘troubleshooting’.
This is where our help comes from and if we can’t find an easy quick solution, we ask someone and if they cannot help then we look for a professional or turn to the after sales service of the manufacturer as a last resort.
An often quoted verse is Psalm 121:2
“My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
where David states that his help comes from the Lord which made heaven and earth.
The first part of the verse he says
I look to the hills/mountains whence cometh my help.
Is he looking to the hills or is he looking to another source first for help.
The old English word whence means where, from where. So is it a rhetorical statement which he immediately answers, that his help comes from the Creator, the Maker of heaven and earth, the original manufacturer of all things? One Who knows how everything functions and is designed to work and has all the answers whatever the question?
Looking at the verse in Hebrew there is an interesting word used. In the various English translations some say the Maker of Heaven and Earth others say ‘the Lord Made’, others, ‘The Lord Who made’ or ‘the Lord which made’.
In this verse the Hebrew word for make or made
is osah
עשׁה
and Strongs # 6213 is asah – ( spelled with either an ‘o’ rather than an ‘a’.)
Strongs # 6213 asah: To do, to make, to accomplish, to perform, to act
Original Word: עָשָׂה
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: `asah
Pronunciation: ah-sah
Phonetic Spelling: (aw-saw’)
KJV: accomplish, advance, appoint, apt, be at, become, bear, bestow, bring forth, bruise, be busy, X certainly, have the charge of, commit, deal (with), deck, + displease, do, (ready) dress(-ed), (put in) execute(-ion), exercise, fashion, + feast, (fight-)ing man, + finish, fit, fly, follow, fulfill, furnish, gather, get, go about, govern, grant, great, + hinder, hold ((a feast)), X indeed, + be industrious, + journey, keep, labour, maintain, make, be meet, observe, be occupied, offer, + officer, pare, bring (come) to pass, perform, pracise, prepare, procure, provide, put, requite, X sacrifice, serve, set, shew, X sin, spend, X surely, take, X thoroughly, trim, X very, + vex, be (warr-)ior, work(-man), yield, use
Word Origin: [a primitive root]
1. to do or make, in the broadest sense and widest application (as follows)
The question is why didn’t David use the Hebrew word ‘bara’ for make, or as we might say create? This was the word used in Genesis 1.
The word bara’ – create is to make something out of nothing.
Our Heavenly Father only ‘created‘ two things, the heavens, and the earth, and from that point on He spoke and called everything else into being.
He created the substance from which everything is formed and everything that exists in the physical world is made up of the same thing, molecules, atoms and cells; by combining them and causing them to vibrate in a specific way…. and we see the result all around us. So if he’s saying my help comes from the One who created everything in the first place, surely this is the best place to go for help in time of need.
The word ‘osah is a word used in Hebrew for a laborer or a worker, one who produces something. Being as it’s an agricultural term and is used for the production of things from the earth, i.e. fruits and vegetables, not meat or processed food, so in Hebrew produce is called ‘osah.
It’s important to see the difference between creation and production, because if we go to the Creator for help that would give the impression that we’re going to someone who has completed His work. Instead, David uses the word ‘osah which implies that whoever made it, the producer or manufacturer, did not just make a something and distribute it; but rather, He, the manufacturer is still actively involved and taking an interest in his product, making necessary changes and modifications to improve its performance as various concerns arise.
If we apply this to our lives, it is the ongoing life time process that our Father takes with us, moulding us and bringing us to perfection/maturity in Him.
The most important thing we are to remember about the word osah is that when we have a problem in our spiritual life we need to go first of all to One Who made us and not run too quickly to others; whether it’s a doctor, counselor, teacher, a family member or trusted friend. When we go to Him first, He may show us how they can help and many times they do assist us in resolving our problems; but the truth is there are some problems that only the ‘osah, the maker can help us with and we should always refer to the Makers instructions.

The Torah Parashah Chukat, includes the Instructions for the Red Heifer/Parah Adumah, The death of Miriam and Aaron, War with the Canaanites, The Copper Snake/ Nechash Nechoshet, and the Wars of Sihon and Og.
But what happened at Meribah?
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, according to tradition there were 3 miracles that regularly occurred:
First, Water from the well of Miriam – A rock that followed the camp of Israel during their wanderings that miraculously provided water fro the people.
Secondly, Clouds of Glory for protection – The Pillar of Cloud by day and Fire by night which protected the people from both predators at night and the heat of the sun by day.
And third, Manna from heaven – Heavenly food supplied every day and enough on day 6 so they need not gather any on the Sabbath.
The story in Numbers Chapter 20 recounts how the people complained because they had no water, but why, up until that time they had an adequate supply? Hebrew literature commenting on this passage says that the people did not mourn or grieve properly when Miriam died on Nisan 10 and was buried; and because of this Adonai caused the well of Miriam to dry up. Water was essential to them staying alive, so the Israelites quickly gathered to complain to Moses and Aaron about this crisis speaking words of death.
Moses and Aaron took the need to the Lord in prayer they went into the Mishkan and waited for instruction. The Lord told Moses to take his staff, which was a sign of authority, and to speak to the rock (of Miriam?) to release its water. Moses was told to speak words that would bring them life and faith to counteract the negative words of death and fear.
“Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” Numbers 20:8
There are possible reasons why Moses and Aaron were forbidden to enter the promised land, and this incident may offer some answers.
Whether it was spontaneous or premeditated, that we don’t know. Moses may have been frustrated and angry with the rebellious complaining Israelites and although he did fulfill the directions, it was not accurately performed; and here we must note that the end did not justify the means.
Did Moses not believe he could get water from a rock by speaking to it, or did he think the Lords decision to not punish the people for their incessant complaining wasn’t the right one?
Some think it was the use of the pronoun ‘We’, which was the fateful mistake and that the Lords judgment was that Moses did not trust Him enough to ‘sanctify’ Him in the presence of all the people by making certain the people knew the provision was from and by the Lords power. Moses appeared to act under his own authority and it inferred that it was by Moses and Aarons own ability they brought forth water providing for the people. It is suggested by commentators that Moses arrogance was impossible to overlook because it was so public.
The obvious fact of course, is that Moses directly disobeyed the command of the Lord even after He had explicitly instructed them ‘to speak to’ the rock, he chose to ‘strike it’. Prophetically Moses had earlier struck the rock in order to provide water for the people in Ex. 17:5-7 and this was intended as a picture of Messiah Who would be stricken for us, Isaiah 53:4 and 1 Cor. 10:4. The second striking of the rock suggested that Messiah would need to be stricken a second time to provide for the needs of the people. John 7:37-39. We know of course this was not the case, the Rock that was once smitten for the people was now to be ‘spoken to’ as the Living Rock, 1 Cor 10:4. Moses gave them the wrong message, suggesting that the first striking had not been sufficient and that something more was required. The cost to both Moses and Aaron was severe, they paid for their disobedience with their lives and neither of them were allowed to enter the land of promise.
The lesson for us is just as serious, those who attempt to add to the work and instructions of the Lord by adding to His words and affecting His works by their own/self righteousness, will likewise be refused entry into the promised land; in our case the kingdom of the Heavens. Those people will hear the fateful words depart from Me I never knew you. Matthew 7:21-23.
Because the waters that came forth were produced through sin and striving, the place was named Meribah, which means contention. It was after this the camp moved to Mount Hor and there Aaron died.
Isn’t it true sometimes, that we rebel against the words of the Lords mouth, when we hear what He wants us to do but we don’t listen to how He tells us to do it? Moses amended the Fathers instructions and sometimes we do too.
The water was not the point, Adonai wanted Moses to obey Him by speaking words of compassion to the Rock, not rebuking the people out of his hardened heart. In his rebellion Moses still provided for the people but instead of setting aside his own beliefs and setting apart the Word of the Lord, he suffered the cost and needless loss of his own future inheritance.
Let Meribah be a caveat to all of us to Shema/Hear and Obey, to carefully and accurately follow the Lord directions and instructions and not go our own Way; remembering that Messiah is the Rock of our Salvation Who has been struck once for our sins; and from Him we receive the life giving waters that cleanse us from all unrighteousness….all we need to do is to speak to the Rock….

No doubt the first scripture we think of with this word
Go
is….
Go into all the world…
Matthew 28:19-20 Mark 16:15-20
Our Heavenly Father and Yeshua/Jesus, lead us by Ruach Hakodesh/Holy Spirit. There is no domineering dictatorship-like demand; but rather a compelling invitation fueled by love. And it is our free will choice
to go, to do, to obey His directive
out of our love and dedication of our lives to Him.
In John 14:6 and 21 other times He says
Follow Me
and
Learn from Me… Matthew 11:29.
Messiah wants us to imitate Him, to be like Him, Ephesians 5:1,
and to allow His Spirit to challenge and change us. 2 Cor. 5:17.
He desires that we be discipled, learn of Him and Go and tell others.
This is not the only place in the Bible where the word Go is significant. In the book of Ruth 1:16 we read where she declares to Naomi:
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.
Furthermore in our own personal lives, because we are being obedient, then we too, will hear His Holy Spirit say to us
‘where you go I will go…’ because we will hear a voice …
‘Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it. Isaiah 30:21.
It is reciprocal, it works both ways, when we are in tune with His will, plan and purpose for our lives. He will Go with us and we will Go with Him.
In Ruth 1:16 she was talking to Naomi and in the Hebrew language it is
ki el asher talaki. – Ki el asher.
Spelled: Alef lamed – aleph sheen resh – tav lamed kaph yod.
Because Ruth was from the land of Moab, she may have been speaking a dialect of her own Moabite language. A little research revealed that the Moabite language is now an extinct Canaanite language which is Semitic in its roots and origin and used a variant of the Phoenician Alphabet; it is the root language that both Aramaic and Arabic come from. Because of this there is a very subtle play on the word Asher, which makes it interesting. In the Moabite language the word also means happiness or blessing. Recall in Genesis 13:30 one of the 12 sons of Israel was named Asher by his mother Leah. Is it possible then that what Naomi may have heard Ruth say to her was…
where you go to be (asher) happy/blessed I will go…
and more specifically within the context…
where you go to be (asher) happy/blessed by God, I will go.
Why didn’t the translators write it this way?
Is it because at that point in the natural situation and circumstances of their lives, Naomi had nothing to offer Ruth except the prospect of being poor, with only a hard life ahead and no hope of finding a marriage partner?
The play on the Hebrew Canaanite words go further, she adds…
Where you lodge I will lodge.
In the Hebrew language the word for lodge is Alin which may come from the root word Lin which means: to lodge or spend the night somewhere.
The Hebrew text uses a yod as the third letter
and this makes it alayan in Aramaic; but in that case wouldn’t the third letter have to be a vav not a yod? The nearest word in Hebrew would be alavan which means lodge and translators just assume that this was an anomaly… but maybe it wasn’t?
It’s very possible the writer used a yod rather than a vav for the third letter on purpose to indicate Ruth was speaking in her native Moabite language and so it would be rendered/translated as:
Where you will draw closer to God I will draw closer to God.
From this story we are taught primarily of Ruths’ loyalty and faithfulness to Naomi but maybe she was more loyal and faithful to the God that both her husband and Naomi had introduced her to?
So in our going we must remember that where God goes we will go and in the going we will draw closer to Him becoming more and more acquainted with His ways; and allowing the life of the Son of the Living God go out from us to the world around us.
All of us have a world around us, wherever we are. Some are called to go, physically moving through the nations, but most are placed in a mission field that extends from the immediate location of their birth, family and country. Scripture says in James 4:8, Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you…
and we are promised He will never leave us nor forsake us in Hebrews 13:5, This has a wonderful meaning for us…. He promises
I will go where you go and where you go I will go.
If we will be obedient to go with Him, He will always be faithful to go with us and we can be assured of being asher, happy and blessed!
