Definitions for Judges 6:37

Save - Except; besides.

Barnes's Judges 6:37 Bible Commentary

The threshing floors were and still are under the open air, and usually circular. The second sign Judges 6:40, would be more convincing than the former, because it is the nature of fleeces to attract and retain moisture.

6:37 On all the earth - That is, upon all that spot of ground which encompasses the fleece.
