Judges 7:4-8

4And Jehovah saidH559 to GideonH1439, StillH5750 the peopleH5971 are manyH7227; bringH3381 them downH3381 to the waterH4325, and I will try them for thee there, and it shall beH1961, that of whom I shall sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3381 with thee, the same shall goH3381 with thee; and of whomsoever I shall sayH559 unto thee, This shall not goH3381 with thee, the same shall not goH3381.

5And he broughtH3381 down the peopleH5971 to the waterH4325; and Jehovah saidH559 to 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 on his knees to drinkH8354.

6And the numberH4557 of them that lapped, with their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, wereH1961 threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376; and all the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowedH3766 downH3766 on their knees to drinkH8354 waterH4325.

7And Jehovah saidH559 to GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lapped will I saveH3467 you, and giveH5414 MidianH4080 into thy handH3027; and let all the peopleH5971 go every manH376 to his placeH4725.

8And they tookH3947 the victuals of the peopleH5971 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782; and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 he sentH7971 awayH7971, every manH376 to his tentH168, but retained the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376. Now the campH4264 of MidianH4080 wasH1961 beneath him in the valleyH6010.
