Rechters 6:27

Gedeon koos tien van zijn knechten uit, en deed zoals Jahweh hem gezegd had; maar hij was te bang voor zijn familie en de inwoners der stad, om het overdag te doen, en deed het daarom des nachts.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
