Judges 7:1-9

Then Jerubbaal
<03378>_,

who [is] Gideon
<01439>_,

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, rose up early
<07925> (8686)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

beside the well of Harod
<05878>_:

so that the host
<04264>

of the Midianites
<04080>

were on the north side
<06828>

of them, by the hill
<01389>

of Moreh
<04176>_,

in the valley
<06010>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

The people
<05971>

that [are] with thee [are] too many
<07227>

for me to give
<05414> (8800)

the Midianites
<04080>

into their hands
<03027>_,

lest Israel
<03478>

vaunt
<06286> (8691)

themselves against me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Mine own hand
<03027>

hath saved
<03467> (8689)

me.

Now therefore go to
<04994>_,

proclaim
<07121> (8798)

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whosoever [is] fearful
<03373>

and afraid
<02730>_,

let him return
<07725> (8799)

and depart early
<06852> (8799)

from mount
<02022>

Gilead
<01568>_.

And there returned
<07725> (8799)

of the people
<05971>

twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>_;

and there remained
<07604> (8738)

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

The people
<05971>

[are] yet [too] many
<07227>_;

bring them down
<03381> (8685)

unto the water
<04325>_,

and I will try
<06884> (8799)

them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, This shall go
<03212> (8799)

with thee, the same shall go
<03212> (8799)

with thee; and of whomsoever I say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, This shall not go
<03212> (8799)

with thee, the same shall not go
<03212> (8799)_.

So he brought down
<03381> (8686)

the people
<05971>

unto the water
<04325>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

Every one that lappeth
<03952> (8799)

of the water
<04325>

with his tongue
<03956>_,

as a dog
<03611>

lappeth
<03952> (8799)_,

him shalt thou set
<03322> (8686)

by himself; likewise every one that boweth down
<03766> (8799)

upon his knees
<01290>

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

And the number
<04557>

of them that lapped
<03952> (8764)_,

[putting] their hand
<03027>

to their mouth
<06310>_,

were three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

but all the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

bowed down
<03766> (8804)

upon their knees
<01290>

to drink
<08354> (8800)

water
<04325>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

By the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that lapped
<03952> (8764)

will I save
<03467> (8686)

you, and deliver
<05414> (8804)

the Midianites
<04080>

into thine hand
<03027>_:

and let all the [other] people
<05971>

go
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his place
<04725>_.

So the people
<05971>

took
<03947> (8799)

victuals
<06720>

in their hand
<03027>_,

and their trumpets
<07782>_:

and he sent
<07971> (8765)

all
<0376>

[the rest of] Israel
<03478>

every man
<0376>

unto his tent
<0168>_,

and retained
<02388> (8689)

those three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

and the host
<04264>

of Midian
<04080>

was beneath him in the valley
<06010>_.

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get thee down
<03381> (8798)

unto the host
<04264>_;

for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

it into thine hand
<03027>_.
