Yahweh said to Gideon, By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his place.
Now Gideon first of all was testing to make sure the angel-let me bring out an offering and he saw the miracle there. Then he put out the fleece and now here's the final thing, he slips down and God confirms that once more. And so there are actually three confirmations to the call of God to Gideon.
