“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.”
The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, 'The LORD is with you, you mighty warrior.' — The angel's greeting 'The LORD is with you, you mighty warrior' (הַגִּבּוֹר הַחַיִל) establishes the divine calling formula. The designation 'mighty warrior' paradoxically addresses Gideon despite his present weakness and desperation, suggesting that God's assessment transcends current circumstance.
