Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Midian Oppresses Israel
7Now when the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian,
8He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
9I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
10And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.” 11Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.Cross References

Judges 6:9 Summary
Judges 6:9 is a reminder from God to the Israelites of His past deliverance and provision. He tells them that He delivered them from the hands of Egypt and all their oppressors, and gave them the land (as seen in Exodus 20:2). This is meant to encourage them to trust in God's power and faithfulness in their current situation with the Midianites. Just like the Israelites, we can learn to trust in God's faithfulness and remember His past deliverance in our lives, as seen in Lamentations 3:22-23 and Hebrews 13:8.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main point of God's message in Judges 6:9?
The main point is that God reminds the Israelites of His past deliverance and provision, as seen in Judges 6:9, where He says, 'I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors.' This is similar to what He says in Exodus 20:2, where He reminds them of bringing them out of slavery in Egypt.
Why does God mention driving out the oppressors and giving the Israelites their land?
God mentions this to remind the Israelites of His power and faithfulness, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:30, where He says He went before them and fought for them, and in Joshua 23:5, where He promises to drive out the nations before them.
How does this verse relate to the Israelites' current situation with the Midianites?
This verse serves as a reminder to the Israelites of God's past faithfulness, which is meant to encourage them to trust Him in their current situation with the Midianites, as seen in Judges 6:7, where they cry out to the Lord because of Midian.
What can we learn from God's reminder of His past deliverance in this verse?
We can learn that God is a faithful and powerful God who keeps His promises, as seen in Hebrews 13:8, which says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Lamentations 3:22-23, which says that His mercies are new every morning.
Reflection Questions
- How have I experienced God's deliverance in my own life, and how can I remember and trust in His faithfulness?
- What are some ways that I can apply the reminder of God's power and faithfulness in my current circumstances?
- In what ways can I be like the Israelites, forgetting God's past deliverance and provision, and how can I avoid this?
- How can I use the reminder of God's faithfulness in Judges 6:9 to encourage and comfort others who are going through difficult times?

Cambridge Bible on Judges 6:9
9. that oppressed you] See on Judges 2:18; and drave them out cf. Exodus 34:11 JE, Joshua 24:18 E. Judges 6:8-9 are repeated in 1 Samuel 10:18, possibly copied from here. The aim of Jdg 6:7-10 is to enforce the principle that reformation must precede deliverance. But the prophet has hardly reached this point when his speech is abruptly broken off, and one of the main narratives begins (11–24). These verses must be earlier than the Dtc. compiler, who would not have curtailed the speech had he inserted it himself. They seem to be the handiwork of the Elohistic school; thus because of in Judges 6:7 (an uncommon expression in Hebr.), cf. Genesis 21:11; Genesis 21:25, Numbers 12:1 etc. E; brought you up from Egypt Judges 6:8, cf. Genesis 46:4; Genesis 50:24, Joshua 24:17 E (also in J); from the house of bondage Judges 6:8, cf.
