Judges 7:4-8

4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yet tooH7227 manyH7227; bringH3381 them downH3381 unto the waterH4325, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whomH834 I sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3381 with thee, the sameH1931 shall goH3381 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayH559 unto thee, This shall notH3808 goH3381 with thee, the sameH1931 shall notH3808 goH3381.

5SoH4480 he broughtH3381 downH3381 the peopleH5971 unto the waterH4325: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, EveryH3605 one that lappeth of the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956, as a dogH3611 lappeth, him shalt thou setH3322 by himselfH905; likewise everyH3605 one that boweth downH3381 uponH5921 his kneesH1290 to drinkH8354.

6And the numberH4557 of them that lappedH3952, putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, was threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: but allH3605 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowedH3766 downH3766 uponH5921 their kneesH1290 to drinkH8354 waterH4325.

7And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lappedH3952 will I saveH3467 youH5414, and deliverH3467 the MidianitesH4080 intoH413 thine handH3027: and letH5414 allH3605 the peopleH5971 go everyH3605 manH376 unto his placeH4725.

8SoH3947 the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victuals in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 everyH3605 manH376 unto his tentH168, but retainedH2388 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the campH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneathH8478 him in the valleyH6010.
