Gideon now calls the person "Lord" instead of "my master" as in [Judges 6:13](./13.md). Here it seems Gideon either knows or suspects that he is speaking with Yahweh.
Gideon uses a question to emphasize that he does not think he can rescue the Israelites. Alternate translation: "I cannot possibly rescue the Israelites!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
