Can I get a witness?

Now, not only had Gideon recieved reassurance and confirmation that God was indeed with him, he also had the news of the fearful Midianites to report back to the Isrealite troops.

An interesting observation can be made about why God insisted on Purah going with Gideon. Firstly, he could offer protection and assistance if they were discovered, but secondly (and more beneficially) I think God wanted a witness with Gideon to confirm what had gone on.

Up until that point, Gideon had recieved word from God when he was alone, but this time there would be no denying what had happend.

Purah was there too, he saw, he heard, he would remember.
