Judges 7:4-8
4And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yet too manyH7227; bring them downH3381 unto the waterH4325, and I will tryH6884 them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3212 with thee, the same shall goH3212 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayH559 unto thee, This shall not goH3212 with thee, the same shall not goH3212.
5So he brought downH3381 the peopleH5971 unto the waterH4325: And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, Every one that lappethH3952 of the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956, as a dogH3611 lappethH3952, him shalt thou setH3322 by himself; likewise every one that boweth downH3766 upon his kneesH1290 to drinkH8354.
6And the numberH4557 of them that lappedH3952, putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, were threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: but all the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowed downH3766 upon their kneesH1290 to drinkH8354 waterH4325.
7And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lappedH3952 will I saveH3467 you, and deliverH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into thine handH3027: and let all the other peopleH5971 goH3212 every manH376 unto his placeH4725.
8So the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victualsH6720 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH376 the rest of IsraelH3478 every manH376 unto his tentH168, and retainedH2388 those threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the armyH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneath him in the valleyH6010.
