Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

Verse 37 is found in chapter 6 of Judges. The Midianites and their allies gather for battle. The Spirit of the Lord comes upon Gideon, and he summons the tribes. Even so, Gideon asks for signs through the fleece to confirm the divine word. The passage shows both the Spirit’s action and Gideon’s insecurity. The signs do not present a general method for discerning God’s will but a particular episode within his calling.

看哪,我把一團羊毛放在禾場上,若單是羊毛上有露水,遍地都是乾的,我就知道你必照你所說的,藉我的手拯救 以色列 。」
