Judges 7:5-7

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Jedeyon fè tout mesye yo desann bò larivyè a. Epi Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Tout moun w'a wè k'ap lape dlo tankou chen, w'a mete yo yon bò, tout moun w'a wè ki va kwoupi pou bwè dlo, w'a mete yo yon lòt bò. ⁶ Te gen twasan (300) gason ki te pran dlo nan pla men yo epi ki t'ap lape dlo a. Tout rès yo te kwoupi pou bwè dlo. ⁷ Seyè a di Jedeyon! -Se avèk twasan nèg sa yo ou wè ki te lape dlo a mwen pral delivre nou. Mwen pral lage moun Madyan yo nan men ou. Kite tout lòt yo ale lakay yo.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

lappeth.The original word {yalok,} is precisely the sound which the dog makes in lapping. It appears that it is not unusual for the Arabs to drink water out of the palms of their hands; and, from this account, we learn that the Israelites did so occasionally. Dr. A. Clarke, in his edition of Harmer, has presented us with the following curious MS. note from Dr. Russell. "When they take water with the palms of their hands, they naturally place themselves on their hams, to be nearer the water; but when they drink from a pitcher or gourd, fresh filled, they do not sit down on purpose to drink, but drink standing, and very often put the sleeve of their shirt over the mouth of the vessel, by way of strainer, lest small leeches might have been taken up with the water. For the same reason they often prefer taking the water with the palm of the hand to lapping it from the surface." From the letters of Busbequius we learn, that the Eastern people are not in the habit of drinking standing. The 300 men, who satisfied their thirst in the most expeditious manner, by this sufficiently indicated their spirit, and alacrity to follow Gideon in his dangerous enterprise; while the rest shewed their love of ease, self-indulgence, effeminacy, and want of courage.
