Judges 7:4-8

4And Jehovah saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yetH5750 tooH7227 manyH7227; bringH3381 them downH3381 unto the waterH4325, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall beH1961, that of whom I sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3381 with thee, the same shall goH3381 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayH559 unto thee, This shall not goH3381 with thee, the same shall not goH3381. 5So he broughtH3381 down the peopleH5971 unto the waterH4325: and Jehovah saidH559 unto GideonH1439, Every one that lappeth of the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956, as a dogH3611 lappeth, him shalt thou setH3322 by himself; likewise every one that boweth downH3381 upon his knees to drinkH8354. 6And the numberH4557 of them that lapped, putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, wasH1961 threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: but all the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowedH3766 downH3766 upon their knees to drinkH8354 waterH4325. 7And Jehovah saidH559 unto GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lapped will I saveH3467 you, and deliverH3467 the Midianites into thy handH3027; and let all the peopleH5971 go every manH376 unto his placeH4725. 8So the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victuals in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782; and he sentH7971 all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 every manH376 unto his tentH168, but retained the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the campH4264 of MidianH4080 wasH1961 beneath him in the valleyH6010.
