And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

Verse 40 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.

Und Gott tat also dieselbe Nacht, daß es trocken war allein auf dem Fell und Tau auf der ganzen Erde.
Y aquella noche lo hizo Dios así: porque la sequedad fue sólo en el vellón, y en toda la tierra estuvo el rocío.
Dios lo hizo así aquella noche: solo el vellón quedó seco, y todo el suelo tuvo rocío.
Et Dieu fit ainsi cette nuit-là. La toison seule resta sèche, et tout le terrain se couvrit de rosée.
E Iddio fece così in quella notte; e il vello solo fu asciutto, e la rugiada fu sopra tutta la terra
E Deus assim fez naquela noite; pois só o velo ficou seco, e sobre toda a terra havia orvalho.
這夜,上帝也照樣做,遍地都有露水,只有羊毛是乾的。
