sign

This could be translated as: “miracle” or “impossible thing.”

sheepskin

This is the skin of a sheep that has all of the wool on it. Wool is a very thick and curly hair that would hold a lot of water. Translate this so that it is clear that this skin is covered with thick, soft hair.

let the morning dew fall

This can be translated as: “make the morning dew appear” or “make the morning dew come up.” Dew refers to the drops of water that that form on cool surfaces at night. Dew naturally covers everything equally.

This could be translated as: “God did what Gideon asked him to do.”
