Judges 7:2-8 And the LORD said to Gideon , The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands , lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying , My own hand hath saved me.

2 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said H1439 to Gideon H5971 , The people H7227 that are with thee are too many H5414 [H8800] for me to give H4080 the Midianites H3027 into their hands H3478 , lest Israel H6286 [H8691] vaunt H559 [H8800] themselves against me, saying H3027 , My own hand H3467 [H8689] hath saved me.

3 H4994 Now therefore H7121 [H8798] , proclaim H241 in the ears H5971 of the people H559 [H8800] , saying H3373 , Whoever is fearful H2730 and afraid H7725 [H8799] , let him return H6852 [H8799] and depart early H2022 from mount H1568 Gilead H7725 [H8799] . And there returned H5971 of the people H6242 twenty H8147 and two H505 thousand H7604 [H8738] ; and there remained H6235 ten H505 thousand.

4 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said H1439 to Gideon H5971 , The people H7227 are yet too many H3381 [H8685] ; bring them down H4325 to the water H6884 [H8799] , and I will try H559 [H8799] them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say H3212 [H8799] to thee, This shall go H3212 [H8799] with thee, the same shall go H559 [H8799] with thee; and of whomever I say H3212 [H8799] to thee, This shall not go H3212 [H8799] with thee, the same shall not go.

5 H3381 [H8686] So he brought down H5971 the people H4325 to the water H3068 : and the LORD H559 [H8799] said H1439 to Gideon H3952 [H8799] , Every one that lappeth H4325 of the water H3956 with his tongue H3611 , as a dog H3952 [H8799] lappeth H3322 [H8686] , him shalt thou set H3766 [H8799] by himself; likewise every one that boweth down H1290 upon his knees H8354 [H8800] to drink.

6 H4557 And the number H3952 [H8764] of them that lapped H3027 , putting their hand H6310 to their mouth H7969 , were three H3967 hundred H376 men H3499 : but all the rest H5971 of the people H3766 [H8804] bowed down H1290 upon their knees H8354 [H8800] to drink H4325 water.

7 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said H1439 to Gideon H7969 , By the three H3967 hundred H376 men H3952 [H8764] that lapped H3467 [H8686] will I save H5414 [H8804] you, and deliver H4080 the Midianites H3027 into thy hand H5971 : and let all the other people H3212 [H8799] go H376 every man H4725 to his place.

8 H5971 So the people H3947 [H8799] took H6720 provisions H3027 in their hand H7782 , and their trumpets H7971 [H8765] : and he sent H376 all H3478 the rest of Israel H376 every man H168 to his tent H2388 [H8689] , and retained H7969 those three H3967 hundred H376 men H4264 : and the host H4080 of Midian H6010 was beneath him in the valley.
