“And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
He responded, 'But sir, how can I deliver Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.' — Gideon's further objection emphasizes his perceived inadequacy: 'the weakest in Manasseh... the least in my family'. His self-deprecation suggests spiritual humility or perhaps a test of his willingness to accept God's commission despite apparent disqualification.
