וְר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֔ה לָבְשָׁ֖ה אֶת־גִּדְע֑וֹן
and=spirit YHWH took_possession_of DOM Gidˊōn
The author is speaking as if the Spirit of Yahweh literally wore Gideon as if he had been a garment. He means that the Spirit of Yahweh gave Gideon strength and guidance, as if Gideon had the Spirit right inside himself doing that. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Then the Spirit of Yahweh filled Gideon” or “Then the Spirit of Yahweh made Gideon strong and confident”

Abiezrites
See the discussion in the General Introduction to Judges of the author’s use of the name of a nation, tribe, or clan to mean its people or army. Alternate translation: “the Abiezrites”
6:34 As is typical of the inspired leaders in Judges, the Spirit clothed Gideon with power. A similar metaphor is frequent in Paul’s letters (e.g., Rom 13:12; Gal 3:27; Eph 4:24; 6:11; Col 3:10, 12, 14).
