Which fleece sign did Gideon request to confirm his calling?

• A. A wet fleece on dry ground
• B. A rainbow in the sky
• C. A dream of angels
• D. Fire from heaven

Answer: (A)

The test Gideon uses is a fleece sign: he places a wool fleece on the threshing floor and asks that dew fall only on the fleece while the ground remains dry, so he can be sure God is with him to deliver Israel. This concrete, measurable sign would confirm the calling in a tangible way, and God honors it by making the fleece wet while the ground stays dry. This specific request is why the option describing a wet fleece on dry ground is the correct choice. The other images—rainbow, a dream of angels, or fire from heaven—aren’t the fleece-based confirmation Gideon asked for in this account.
