And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
All Commentaries on Judges 6:40 Go To Judges 6
Jerome
AD 420
The truth of the Lord reaches even to the clouds. The clouds are the apostles and prophets; to them he gave the command not to rain upon Israel. This is in agreement with history as recorded in the book of Judges, where it speaks of the fleece that was dry while rain fell upon the rest of the world. It means that Israel is dry and the rain is pouring down over the whole world.
