Judges 7:2-9
2And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 that are with thee are too manyH7227 for me to giveH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into their handsH3027, lest IsraelH3478 vauntH6286 themselves against me, sayingH559, My own handH3027 hath savedH3467 me. 3Now thereforeH4994, proclaimH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Whoever is fearfulH3373 and afraidH2730, let him returnH7725 and depart earlyH6852 from mountH2022 GileadH1568. And there returnedH7725 of the peopleH5971 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505; and there remainedH7604 tenH6235 thousandH505. 4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yet too manyH7227; bring them downH3381 to the waterH4325, and I will tryH6884 them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I sayH559 to thee, This shall goH3212 with thee, the same shall goH3212 with thee; and of whomever I sayH559 to thee, This shall not goH3212 with thee, the same shall not goH3212. 5So he brought downH3381 the peopleH5971 to the waterH4325: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to 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 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lappedH3952 will I saveH3467 you, and deliverH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into thy handH3027: and let all the other peopleH5971 goH3212 every manH376 to his placeH4725. 8So the peopleH5971 tookH3947 provisionsH6720 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH376 the rest of IsraelH3478 every manH376 to his tentH168, and retainedH2388 those threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the hostH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneath him in the valleyH6010.
9And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, AriseH6965, go downH3381 to the hostH4264; for I have deliveredH5414 it into thy handH3027.
