Judges 7:2-7
2And the LordH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, “The peopleH5971 whoH834 are with you are tooH4480 manyH7227 for Me to handH5414H3027 MidianH4080 overH5414 to them, 1otherwiseH6435 IsraelH3478 would 2becomeH6286 boastfulH6286, sayingH559, ‘My own 3powerH3027 has savedH3467 me.’ 3NowH6258 therefore comeH4994, proclaimH7121 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ‘4WhoeverH4310 isH3372 afraidH3372 and worriedH2730, is to returnH7725 and leaveH6852H4480 MountH2022 GileadH1568.’” So twenty-twoH6242H8147 thousandH505 from the peopleH5971 returnedH7725, but tenH6235 thousandH505 remainedH7604.
45Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, “The peopleH5971 are stillH5750 too manyH7227; bringH3381 them downH3381 to the waterH4325 and I will testH6884 them for you thereH8033. So it shall be that he of whomH834 I sayH559 to you, ‘ThisH2088 oneH2088 shall goH1980 with you,’ he shall goH1980 with you; but everyoneH3605 of whomH834 I sayH559 to you, ‘ThisH2088 oneH2088 shall not goH1980 with you,’ he shall not goH1980.” 5So he broughtH3381 the peopleH5971 downH3381 to the waterH4325. Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, “You shall putH3322 everyoneH3605 whoH834 lapsH3952 the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956 as a dogH3611 lapsH3952 6in oneH905 groupH905, and everyoneH3605 whoH834 kneelsH1290H3766 downH3766 to drinkH8354 in another.” 6Now the numberH4557 of those who lappedH3952, 7putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, was threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376; but allH3605 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 kneeledH3766H1290 downH3766 to drinkH8354 waterH4325. 7And the LordH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, “I will saveH3467 you 8with the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 who lappedH3952, and will handH5414H3027 the MidianitesH4080 overH5414 to you; so have allH3605 the other peopleH5971 goH1980, eachH376 manH376 to his 9homeH4725.”
