How did Gideon build an altar to the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Gideon built an altar on a rock and named it Jehovah Shalom.

In Judges 6:24, Gideon builds an altar and names it Jehovah Shalom, signifying that the Lord is his peace. This act of constructing the altar on an unhewn rock symbolizes obedience and God’s provision. The altar, made without tools, underscores God’s desire for purity in worship. By naming the altar, Gideon acknowledges his experience of God’s grace and the transformation in his life. This moment not only reflects Gideon’s faith but also exemplifies the importance of establishing places of worship and remembrance of God’s faithfulness.
