Gideon uses the word "master" as a polite way to greet a stranger. He does not realize he is speaking to Yahweh in the form of an angel or a man.

# Where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers told us about, when they said, 'Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?'
Gideon uses a question to challenge the stranger's statement that Yahweh was with him. Also, the direct quotation can be stated as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "We have not seen any wonderful deeds like the ones our fathers told us about when Yahweh brought them up from Egypt." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])
"We have not seen any wonderful deeds like the ones our fathers told us about when Yahweh brought them up from Egypt."
# gave us into the hand of Midian
The phrase "gave us into" means Yahweh allowed the Israelites to be defeated. Alternate translation: "allowed the Midianites to defeat us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
# gave us into the hand
Here "hand" represents power or control. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"allowed the Midianites to defeat us"
# of Midian
Here "Midian" represents the people of Midian. Alternate translation: "of the Midianites" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"of the Midianites"
