The answer is: A kid and some unleavened cakes

Judges 6:19

Gideon's encounter with the angel of the Lord in Judges not only illustrates a pivotal moment in Israelite history but also engages deeply with the traditions of sacrificial offerings in ancient Israel. When Gideon presents a kid (a young goat) and unleavened bread to the angel, he is both honoring divine presence and adhering to cultural customs that place heavy importance on hospitality and worship.

Interestingly enough, unleavened bread isn’t just an incidental detail; it connects with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a ritual that commemorates the Exodus from Egypt. This makes Gideon’s offering a beautiful link to themes of liberation and divine intervention, heralding the hope of deliverance from oppression.

Moreover, Gideon’s offering echoes throughout Scripture. It resonates with the Biblical principle that God often chooses the humble and the seemingly unremarkable to carry out significant tasks. Don’t forget that Gideon himself started off as a bit of a reluctant hero, questioning his own capacity to lead Israel against invaders.

In addition to symbolism, this visitation was also an affirmation that God often operates through the ordinary moments of life involving simple offerings and personal gestures, thematically weaving through the surging tales captured in Judges. Gideon’s legacy illustrates that faith, bolstered by action—like the making of an offering—is the soil from which extraordinary divine providence can yield deliverance and renewed purpose.
