Judges 6:25-27

25That same night the LORD said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Or Take a full-grown, mature bull from your father’s herd Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole That is, a wooden symbol of the goddess Asherah; also in verses 26, 28 and 30 beside it.

26Then build a proper kind of Or build with layers of stone an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second Or full-grown; also in verse 28 bull as a burnt offering.”

27So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the townspeople, he did it at night rather than in the daytime.
