But Abram said,“ Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?”

But Abram said,“ Lord and King, how can I know I will have this land as my own?”

But he said,“ O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?”

But Abram replied,“ O Sovereign Lord, how can I be sure that I will actually possess it?”

But he said,“ Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”

But he said,“ Lord God, how may I know that I will possess it?”

And he said,“ Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?”

And he said, O Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Gideon said to God,“ If you really intend to use me to deliver Israel, as you promised, then give me a sign as proof.Look, I am putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and the ground around it is dry, then I will be sure that you will use me to deliver Israel, as you promised.”The LORD did as he asked. When he got up the next morning, he squeezed the fleece, and enough dew dripped from it to fill a bowl.Gideon said to God,“ Please do not get angry at me, when I ask for just one more sign. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make only the fleece dry, while the ground around it is covered with dew.”That night God did as he asked. Only the fleece was dry and the ground around it was covered with dew.

Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O LORD, will help me and comfort me.

Here I am, standing by the spring, and the daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out to draw water.I will say to a young woman,‘ Please lower your jar so I may drink.’ May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply,‘ Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.’ In this way I will know that you have been faithful to my master.”

Gideon said to him,“ If you really are pleased with me, then give me a sign as proof that it is really you speaking with me.Do not leave this place until I come back with a gift and present it to you.” The LORD said,“ I will stay here until you come back.”Gideon went and prepared a young goat, along with unleavened bread made from an ephah of flour. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot. He brought the food to him under the oak tree and presented it to him.God’s messenger said to him,“ Put the meat and unleavened bread on this rock, and pour out the broth.” Gideon did as instructed.The LORD’s messenger touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of his staff. Fire flared up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread. The LORD’s messenger then disappeared.When Gideon realized that it was the LORD’s messenger, he said,“ Oh no! Master, LORD! I have seen the LORD’s messenger face to face!”The LORD said to him,“ You are safe! Do not be afraid! You are not going to die!”Gideon built an altar for the LORD there, and named it“ The LORD is on friendly terms with me.” To this day it is still there in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

If they say to us,‘ Stay put until we approach you,’ we will stay right there and not go up to them.But if they say,‘ Come up against us,’ we will go up. For in that case the LORD has given them into our hand– it will be a sign to us.”
